Well her face seemed genuine   As she asked how I was doing   But I felt a stiffening in my spine   As her eyes strayed from what i was saying   We used to lock ourselves away   Swallowed up in conversation and bottles of wine   But now there's just awkward silence   Broken up by the stagnant phrase   I haven't seen you in such a long time      Oh her mouth still looks the same   As it speaks my name   But there's a distance in her tone that haunts me   Chills me reminds me   Of Alberta’s landscape in November   Knowing there's months more to come   Where I can run toward the horizon   But not feel the warmth of the sun   That burns my eyes with its beauty   As it reflects from the snow   Can burn me at the same time   As it chills to the bone      Once upon a time I clung to pretending   ‘Cause what I wanted most was a Hollywood ending   Now I see in her what it is I’m missing   Silence can speak volumes if I care to listen   A long walk through this winter has triggered my admission   Oh it's been a long time      But her mouth still looks the same   As it speaks my name   Oh there's a distance in her tone that haunts me   Chills me reminds me   Of Alberta’s landscape in November   Knowing there's months more to come   Where I can run toward the horizon   But not feel the warmth of the sun   That burns my eyes with it's beauty   As it reflects from the snow   Can burn me at the same time   As it chills to the bone
