Greatest Thoughts

This is the fortress that I built

Cold and uninviting

You stumbled on its stones last night

Beneath the trailing ivy

These are the shoes that I had worn

It was on that day last winter when

You left me frozen and forlorn

I swore I'd never know you better

But oh, you did not know me at all

'Til you had seen me fight

With the dead of the night

Still, you pulled me closer to your chest and

You were the one that I liked best

But I always thought if someone loved me at all

They would give up the things that I detest

I know you'd never change a thing

Not for anyone or anything

But when you cannot spare an hour won't you

Spare a thought for a dying flower

But oh, who really knows you at all

If you cannot talk of your greatest thoughts?

Still, you pulled me closer to your chest and

You were the one that I loved best

So go to the fields and wait for me there

And I will show you the paths I used to tread

High on the hill where the rain came down

Punching it, holes in the cold hard ground, well

I stood in your shadow

Jumping and starting a … sound
