in the july heat
i set my cold feet
out in search of truth
tracin' a freeway
she came up to say,
can i walk with you
she confided that
her heart could attack...
i should really go
it was october
if god could know her,
he'd mistake her dress for snow
every year
i wait here
aloft on the wheel
and just for
a flash we're
up high like it's real
the shore lights
were so bright
but too soon, they leave
when we die
could goodbye
mean stay here with me
she loved the stories
and stayed up for me
when i couldn't sleep
she sighed, you're crazy,
but you amaze me
in february
and i know what i felt
and when the snow melts
will you marry me?
every year
i wait here
aloft on the wheel
and just for
a flash we're
up high like it's real
the shore lights
were so bright
but too soon, they leave
when we die
could goodbye
mean stay here with me
hey let's go wavin'
from high off the flowers
i'll help you stop aching
before april showers
i'll sing like you like, dear
just you and i, here
and a ferris wheel tune
let me freeze time,
i want this every day
i'm so happy you're mine
i promise you i'll stay...
then i felt her pulse leaving
oh god, please keep breathing
heart attacked, her eyes had closed
and this time of year, now...
i've got nothin' down there
it's big but it's lonely;
the prettiest cold air
with pages lit for me,
i'm writing a story
called stars that look like you
every year
i wait here
aloft on the wheel
and just for
a flash we're
up high like it's real
the shore lights
were so bright
but too soon, they leave
when we die
could goodbye
mean stay here with me
and so on a night like this
i cannot fight this
feeling that you're here
sleepless with me, dear
whereever you are
it's never too far
if you fear you'll float off
come take a load off,
