lyrics

lost another good one to southern california
this winter is the harshest on record in new york
i'm bracing for this upstate sadness
this season could be the death of me
pray i don't let it

cause i've never needed you to meet me
for coffee tomorrow this badly
only to find you've never been farther away

i know that there is more to the picture than we can see
my head gets it but this heart's a skeptic
and won't be persuaded so easily

cause i've never needed you to meet me
for coffee tomorrow this badly
only to find you've never been farther away

and this is just another reminder
that we don't live for now
and sometimes goodbyes are blessed
when they speak of eternity
and one who is worthy of leaving all
to follow wherever he may lead

i'm wondering when this chill will break
cause even with the promise of spring
i confess this is hard to take
but i know a day is coming when
together we'll see the sun rise to never set again
so until then
