Chills

                                  The fog is slowly lifting 

The lighthouse, she is dancing 

Like a skater etching circles 

But the pond is rarely frozen over 

You, now I remember 

It's Maine in mid-September 

And everything that mattered 

Stayed safe between our hands 

You turn to me and smile 

You feel those chills? 

 

So I went racing living 

And you went right on giving 

And time went by like steam trains 

Sorry, if I made you feel alone 

Even though I was so close 

But now, as I look around this place 

It could be home 

 

And here I am 

Trapped within this moment again 

Holding firm, on this aerial I send 

And now I know 

Like I've never really known before 

Come what may 

To remember it and soar 

You ask of me once more 

"You feel those chills?" 

 

I remember when we 

Were out there alone, 

And there we knew we had to stay 

Something shifted 

Before the snow could subside 

And everything that mattered 

Turned slowly around 

(And did you see it then?) 

 

I'm flyin ' down the freeway 

On an empty, narrow bypass 

And reflected far beneath me 

The lights flash just like cameras 

And you, now I remember 

Caught beyond the simple splendor 

So we covered up the embers 

And left what we'd been given on the way 

Past the mountains and the storms 

 

Here I am 

Trapped within this moment again 

Holding firm, on this aerial I send 

And now I know 

Like I've never really known before 

Come what may 

To remember it and soar 

 

Here I am 

Trapped within this moment again 

Holding firm, on this aerial I send 

And now I know 

Like I've never really known before 

Come what may 

To remember it and soar 

You turn to me once more 

 

It's early Tuesday morning 

And you're gently, calmly sleeping 

I can hear the water turning 

And the heaviness is overwhelming
