I was a north wind inhabiting You were a falling chair I wrote your name down And kept at arm's length Loving you from afar I hadn't been in a car yet Hearing the world through your eyes Wanting the front yard to notice I have no recollections of them Sister and I were alone in my room When we got word of the fires They didn't catch him I dreamt of his face Loving him from afar I hadn't been in his arms yet Hearing the world through his eyes Wanting the front door to notice I have no recollections of rain I was in love once, and I knew not his face Or from where he had flown Captured in storm clouds At times with my song He would know that I was home He'd come to see me in the morning Outside my window he'd sing I knew myself once, but not anymore
