Rings - Sailship

I waited there for you

In a twinkling snow fall

Evading every truth

To stubbornly stand tall

Then you passed

Hand and hand with a better man

My frames lit up the night

As everything I've waited for

Is running out that open door

With everything I'm trying to be

Will everything I've sacrificed

Find me in another life

With everything I've failed to see

Beneath the fallen snow I let you go

And whispered your name

And though I wanted you so

I put a ring on every finger but one

I put a ring on every finger but one

The snow began to melt

As a fire erupted

Every flake fell away

Just like our love did

My body burning right on the side of the street

My ashes take its place

As everything I've waited for

Is running out that open door

With everything I'm trying to be

Will everything I've sacrificed

Find me in another life

With everything I've failed to see

Beneath the fallen snow I let you go

And whispered your name

And though I wanted you so

I put a ring on every finger but one

Now

Here's one less twinkling Christmas

When I was blue the whole way home

And have been since

But my reckless heart relentlessly persists

As everything I've waited for

Is running out that open door

With everything I'm trying to be

Will everything I've sacrificed

Find me in another life

With everything I've failed to see

Beneath the fallen snow I let you go

And whispered your name

And though I wanted you so

I put a ring on every finger but one
