Back when the angels of heaven would sing 
Days when I still made you feel something
And before what might be 
Became what's already been 
Blizzards and bygones
The frost and no thaw 
Airways constricting 
And vessels withdraw
And you look around but find yourself all alone 
And you hunker down but the cold's

Already in your bones 
There's a flicker of desire 
And a memory of youth 
A faintly
Glowing fire for some truth
I lit a fire / it started then stopped / Elements will conspire / and mercury drop
Can you stand the weather / if winter lasts forever?
