See You Again

The light has worn off this Martin guitar
The house is quiet, the cat’s gone to sleep
I’m sitting alone by the fire in the dark
And the promises I couldn’t keep

I want to see you again
But I’ll fade if I chase the wind
I want to see you again
When the darkness is closing in
I want to see you again
Though it’s a game I cannot win
I want to see you again
In my dreams, we never end

There’s a draft that’s creeping through the dark
I block you out, only let a little in
The snow is settling on the pass
And I don’t know where to begin

I want to see you again
But I’ll fade if I chase the wind
I want to see you again
When the darkness is closing in
I want to see you again
Though it’s a game I cannot win
I want to see you again
In my dreams, we never end

Now and then I find myself slipping
Down the slope of the good times we had
I pulled your pictures down off the wall
Left behind the empty nails instead
It’s a simple truth I can’t quite reach
I know the facts, but it makes no sense
I’m in a constant battle with myself
Sometimes I win, sometimes I pretend

I want to see you again
But I’ll fade if I chase the wind
I want to see you again
When the darkness is closing in
I want to see you again
Though it’s a game I cannot win
I want to see you again
In my dreams, we never end
