I watch the western sky
the sun is sinking
The geese are flying south
it sets me thinking

/WEIRD
I did not miss you much
I did not suffer
What did not kill me
just made me tougher

/NORMAL
I feel the winter come
his icy sinews,
Now in the firelight
the case continues

/WEIRD
Another night in court
the same old trial
The same old question asked
the same denial
/BIG
 - - - * - - -

/NORMAL
The shadows close me round
like jury members
I look for answer in
the fire's embers

/WEIRD
Why was I missing then
that whole December ?
I give my usual line,
I don't remember.

/NORMAL
Another winter comes
his icy fingers creep
into these bones of mine
these memories never sleep

/WEIRD
And all these differences
a cloak I borrowed
We kept our distances
why should it follow that

/NORMAL
I must have loved you ?

/SMALL
What is the force 
  that binds the stars ?
I wore this mask 
  to hide my scars
What is the power 
  that pulls the tide ?
Never could find
  a place to hide

What moves the Earth
  around the Sun ?
What could I do but
  run and run and run ?
Afraid to love,
  afraid to fail,
A mast
  without a sail

/NORMAL
The moon's a fingernail
and slowly sinking
Another day begins
and now I'm thinking

/WEIRD
That this indifference
was my invention
When everything I did
sought your attention

/NORMAL
You were my compass star
you were my measure
You were a pirate's map
of burried treasure

/WEIRD
If this was all correct
the last thing i'd expect
The prosecution rests
It's time that I confessed

/NORMAL
I must have loved you
