The Ice Tree Lyrics - Flashlight Seasons - Gravenhurst

At six in the morning the ice in the tree thaws 

Into the millpond returns to the deep 

I caress where my lover once lay by my side 

Before I turned inwards and forced her to fly 

We try to connect with the people outside 

They pass through our slumber 

Like trains in the night 

I caress where my lover once lay by my side 

Before I turned inwards and forced her to fly 

After the cold night the raindrops that froze 

Melt into the thin air 

Like the footsteps of ghosts 

I caress where my lover once lay by my side 

Before I turned inwards and forced her to fly 

For she could not know me 

For I know not myself 

And without understanding 

Love isn't enough
