September Air from Singular by Marc Durkee

A body lies between us, an ocean, a moat
And I'd circle round to find you if I only had a boat
A river runs beneath us all the way from here to there
With the water at my feet in the cold, cold winter air

And I did my best to wake you from an unrelenting dream
I could feel you through the fog and recognize your muffled screams
This was not a cry for pity or a reason to depart
It was the ever growing thaw that took the light out of your heart

You left the light on for me
But you took the light out of my heart

A season stands before us and it's almost time to go
(away with the snow)
A wave came fast and took us past the lives that we had known
(down with the water)
The summer comes and goes, but was it ever really there?
With a fire at my feet in the warm September air

Please leave the light on for me
You took the light out of my heart
