Pale as winter, every splintered bone will fall
Our burning bridge will be a signal fire
But I will be gone, I will be gone by then
When I left, I dreamed us both as wild as sparrows
I wrote the state motto on my wrist
Then I called to you, I called to you, into the thick blue night
I called to you, I called to you, but I did not speak of love
Did not fold my hand, did not lower my flag
A time will come when we're no longer proud of such courage
I'll confess I do not wish to die alone, alone, alone
Oh you covered me, you covered me, when I left my skin behind
You covered me, you covered me, but I did not speak of love
Did not know to say I needed you
Did not know I needed you
