            the torn days of winter 
              visit with us now 
              and the radio 
              the radio is crying 
              as its tears reveal the day 
            and the sky just tells me lies 
              to which i must somehow find a reply 
            you're just a shout 
              on the horizon 
              an echo in the rain 
              and i don't even 
              i don't even remember 
              quite what it was 
              we thought to gain 
            and the storm has come a howling 
              in from the east 
              blow away the leaves 
              the decisions of these pauper weeks 
            and we stood and talked like strangers 
              up there on the hill 
              in lines of lost confusion 
              just ripples on the stream 
            you're just a shout 
              on the horizon 
              an echo in the rain 
              and i don't even 
              i don't even remember 
              quite what it was 
              we thought to gain 
            the curse of indecision 
              comes calling 
              like a thief 
              a footstep on the threshold 
              whisper of belief 
            and the sky just tells me lies 
              which i must somehow sleep and dream
