Down by the lake
I let my time go
Watching dragonflies
All thick and fat and slow

The wind is in the reeds
With quiet in its teeth
I remember you
And somehow you are with me

Inside the smile written on my face

I lose sleep
When we forget how to talk
I keep the words you wrote
Beside me when I walk

This distance isn't dangerous
It kills us with a look
You always found the time
To give more than I took

Even when you lost your place

The wind has moved on
And left the lake to me
Where changes on the surface
Can't scratch the deep
