You come back now, looking for a clue Expecting everybody to fall all over you If you missed it so, this one-light town Why'd you go and leave with the snow coming down? I was chasing after what was mine No explaining, there was no more time One more winter would've been my last I could feel it slipping from my grasp You come back now, and you don't look bad You must've made the best of the time you had Since you cut and run, like they said you would And we got along without you just as best we could Well I don't expect you'll ever see But you're not my maker and you don't judge me One more winter would've been my last And I don't go dwelling on my past I could not sit here listening to the wind against these walls I still hear it whistling in the whispers of them all And I come back now, but I won't stay long There hasn't much changed since I been gone No I won't stay long, you need not fear I just came back to see if I had ever been here. I could not be like one of them Faces shrunken from the bitter wind Their righteous rage, their jealous fear One more winter won't find me here
