After All the Gifts

Time changes nothing
Time can’t even fix itself a drink
It shines like rust in the sun
And sounds like eagle’s wings
Time can’t change a thing
I saw the light from your window
But I couldn’t find my way
Back to your door
My key no longer fits the lock
My ships can’t find the shore
My ships can’t find the shore
But after all the gifts we
We gave each other in the dark
Don’t it seem strange to sleep so far a part
After all the gifts we
We gave each other in the dark
Don’t it seem strange to sleep so far a part
Now I’ve looked for you
In every kind of weather
But all I have of you is in the rain
At night I sing in all the different languages
Of your name
Of your name
And there’s nothing in the pages of the calendar
Nothing in the turning of the winds
I’m swimming upstream against the blues
Against the sea
Against the sea
But after all the gifts we
We gave each other in the dark
Don’t it seem strange to sleep so far a part
After all the gifts we
We gave each other in the dark
Don’t it seem strange to sleep so far a part
