I recognized myself out
With the dogs shouldering logs
There were brushstrokes of fallen firs
Dark shapes mistook for words

I went to find my love
Ran down the tracks, mud up my back
And the tears welled up in my eyes
When I saw her begin to cry

I want you to know
For what you gave I'm grateful
I want you to stay
Fixed in my mind for always

I recognized your voice
Lost in a dream, in a violent scene
I was certain that I would die
So I called for you through the night

I woke up stuck to my sheets
Sat up in bed, shaking my head
I thought: “At least I can say I tried
When it feels like there’s no light to guide me "

I want you to know
For what you gave I'm grateful
I want you to stay
Fixed in my mind for always
