This is the fortress that time built   It's cold and uninviting, well   You stopped by and last night beneath the trailing ivy      These are the shoes that I had wore when there it was on   On that day last winter   You left me frozen and forlorn   I swore I'd never known you better      But oh, you did not know me at all   Til you had seen me fight with the dead of the night   Still you hold me closer to your chest   And you are the one that I like best   I always thought if someone had love for me at all   They would give up the things that I detest      I know you'd never change a thing, not for anyone or anything   But when you cannot spare an hour   Won't you spare a thought for a dying flower?      And oh, who really knows you at all if you cannot   Talk of your greatest thoughts?   Still you pull me closer to your chest   And you are the one that I love best   So go to the fields and you wait for me,    I'll show you the oath that I used to tread   To tread      High on the hill where the rain came down   Hunching its toes in the cold hard ground   Oh I stood in your shadow   I was jumping and starting at every sound
