Rings - Sailship
I waited there for you
In a twinkling snow fall
Evading every truth
To stubbornly stand tall
Then you passed
Hand and hand with a better man
My frames lit up the night
As everything I've waited for
Is running out that open door
With everything I'm trying to be
Will everything I've sacrificed
Find me in another life
With everything I've failed to see
Beneath the fallen snow I let you go
And whispered your name
And though I wanted you so
I put a ring on every finger but one
I put a ring on every finger but one
The snow began to melt
As a fire erupted
Every flake fell away
Just like our love did
My body burning right on the side of the street
My ashes take its place
As everything I've waited for
Is running out that open door
With everything I'm trying to be
Will everything I've sacrificed
Find me in another life
With everything I've failed to see
Beneath the fallen snow I let you go
And whispered your name
And though I wanted you so
I put a ring on every finger but one
Now
Here's one less twinkling Christmas
When I was blue the whole way home
And have been since
But my reckless heart relentlessly persists
As everything I've waited for
Is running out that open door
With everything I'm trying to be
Will everything I've sacrificed
Find me in another life
With everything I've failed to see
Beneath the fallen snow I let you go
And whispered your name
And though I wanted you so
I put a ring on every finger but one
