To take you in
Is to feel a great sadness
Is to hold a great hope

Heavy in my chest

To let you go
Is to lose my balance
Is to fall into silence
Is to wait, wait, wait

Oh sleeper, my keeper of days
We can't get back the Spring
Once it's passed

For I was born
In a colder time
And we made our vows in ice
And steel

Oh sleeper, you kissed me for luck
Did you know we found
The morning

Oh sleeper, my keeper of days
We can't get back the Spring
Once it's passed

To take you in
Is to feel a great sadness
Is to hold a great hope

So I'll make you a bed
In a bed in fields
'Cause we can't get back the Spring
Once it's passed
