Lyrics
I will not despair this time of year
When all the lights are shining
And the bells are ringing high and clear
Oh you can't say I'm not trying
And I go out in the afternoon
And I'm burying a secret
That grew inside me like a moon
Til I could no longer keep it
You might say something's missing
You were mist in morning light
How could I have missed this?
I want you by my side
And nobody made me promises
No one offered me protection
And still I thought in my green heart
That I could be the exception
You might say something's missing
You were mist in morning light
How could I have missed this?
I want you by my side
Watching the sun set at 4pm
Holding the shape of another hand
You might say something's missing
So I put my hands into the earth
And I thank you. You were my first
You made me a mother
You made me a mother
And now every July will never feel the same
Or cutting an apple
Or hearing your name
Or watching the heron take flight in the rain
Or fog or winter or balsam or jade
Fog. Winter. Balsam. Jade
