Winter’s force precludes the signs
Your mountain mind, your forest eyes
Linville falls, we stood and sighed
On borrowed time, to borrow time, no, no, no

Convinced you’re worth the fear
I believed it now
But I can’t keep you near
We’re both leaving town

As my hands shake, I’ll pick up the phone
And the words, they will pour out my throat
As these forces, they’ve warned me to go
It’s your clarity that hurts the most
And holds me so
