I watch the western sky - The sun is sinking
The geese are flying south - It sets me thinking
I did not miss you much - I did not suffer
What did not kill me - Just made me tougher

I feel the winter come - His icy sinews
Now in the firelight - The case continues
Another night in court - The same old trial
The same old questions asked - The same denial

The shadows closing round - Like jury members
I look for answers in - The fire’s embers
Why was I missing then - That whole December?
I give my usual line - I don’t remember

Another winter comes - His icy fingers creep
Into these bones of mine - These memories never sleep
And all these differences - A cloak I borrow
We kept our distances - Why should it follow that
I must have loved you?

What is a force that binds the stars? - I wore this mask to hide my scars
What is the power that moves the tide? - Never could find a place to hide

What moves the earth around the sun?
What could I do but run and run and run?
Afraid to love, afraid to fail - A mast without a sail

The moon's a fingernail - And slowly sinking
Another day begins - And now I'm thinking
That this is indifference - Was my invention
When everything I did - Sought your attention
You were my compass star - You were my measure
You were a pirate's map - Of buried treasure

If this was all correct - The last thing I'd expect
The prosecution rests - It's time that I confessed
I must have loved you - I must have loved you
