Two Figures In The Snow

(앨범: Yes, December - 2011)

When I was just six years old
My mother left me by my own
For a day or maybe three
It's my longest memory
Of all the things that we might be
The summoned past is what we leave
So if you ask me what I am
I shall only show my hand

When I was a little boy
My father never brought me toys
My father only brought me blood
But in the end, blood's not enough
I know this is a lonely road
Eleven thousand miles of cold
To trap the heart and choke it dead
Eleven thousand miles they said
(Eleven thousand miles they said)

But oh my darling, don't you fear
I will always keep you near
In the winter take my soul
I will never let you go
Oh my darling, you will see
This is what you mean to me
More than riches, more than gold
More than can be bought or sold

Now mine is a simple prayer
Cast into the midnight air
Years enough to what you grow
Years enough so you shall know
Oh this is a lonely road
And onwards, onwards we must go
And yours the gift to raise the dead
Now burn a ghost inside your head
Now burn a ghost inside your head

But oh my darling, don't you fear
I will always be right here
In the winter take my soul
I will never let you go
Oh my darling, you will see
Everything you mean to me
More than riches, more than gold
More than can be bought or sold

When I was just six years old
My mother left me by my own
But oh my darling, don't you fear
I will always keep you near
