Nothing underneath May18 '08

We're not the same dear,
As we used to be.
The seasons have changed
And so have we.

There was little we could say
And even less that we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner
Under me and you.

We buried our love
In the wintry grave.
Along came the snow
Was all that remained.

Though we stayed by it's side,
As the days turned to weeks.
And the ice kept getting thinner
With every word that we'd speak.

And when spring arrived,
We were taken by surprise
When the flows under our feet
Led into the sea.

And nothing was left
For you and me.

We're not the same dear,
And it seems to me
There's nowhere we can go
with nothing underneath.

Then it saddens me to say
What we both knew was true,
That the ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.

The ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.
