Through the ice and swell

casting spells over a telephone line

in my ear

telling secrets that i'll take to my grave

falling one by one

til the sun came up to save us from ourselves

for the day

then the light would leave

and night would fall again

all these words between us now

only words between us now

all these words between us now

only words forever now

we will meet on a sunlit street

the skies will tell us everything

oh the things we'll know when the cold winds go

and summer comes again

damn the river tom

for the hours we wasted dreaming of the things

we'd never be and never see

but always hope for in ourselves

every doubt every promise we would never carry out

all these words between us now

only words between us now

all these words between us now

only words forever now

we will meet on a sunlit street

the skies will tell us everything

oh the things we'll know when the cold winds go

and summer comes again

when summer comes again

we fought to be the last ones to fall asleep

and i've been awake all of this time

don't you remember how we swore

we'd never let this town take us alive?

all these words between us now

only words between us now

all these words between us now

only words forever now

we will meet on a sunlit street

the skies will tell us everything

oh the things we'll know when the cold winds go

and summer comes again

when summer comes again

when summer comes again
