Mistress Winter's Jump

There once was a time when I was drawn to you

Days and the nights remaining too few

But in a world where the cynic is wise

Saw your world through simpler eyes

I dreamt all was healed, I dreamt all was well

Dreamt it was all just two dreamers in hell

Pray for a respite, pray for more rain

Pray that what's keeping me down keeps me sane, oh whoa

Tear it apart though it's something you love

Any of the many is still too few

In all manner of mannerly ways

Whoa

Now and again I've called you, my friend

Sometimes a lover, sometimes just pretend

Love is away from love's a way, too

Love is a say nothing, you charmer you —

Far away I'd and just in the way

Too many tests on the question today

Love to say somethin' lovers can do

Glad to have known, so sad it is through

Tear it apart like it's someone you love

It's just somethin' I held on too long

Born like a princess, you take like a queen

Yeah, yeah
