Story Behind The Song

Reminising the loss of my first love and those women I had felt strongly about in my past during a winter day I was held up inside prompted me to recall things of my past that weren't so pleasant to remember, but certainly worthwhile writing about.

Song Description

Sad lament about a strong love that dissolved and all the feelings remain in the object of a photograph.

Lyrics

There's a window you left open where the rain keeps pouring in
I was sad to see you go and I haven't closed it yet
There's a mirror in the bathroom you forgot the day you left
It's reflecting now an image of a brokenhearted man
There's a picture in my pocket of the only love I've known
What a price I had to pay with the only love we made

There's a snowflake on the sidewalk as the winter closes in
There's still cinder on the mantle from the fires that we once shared
There's a moonbeam and it's cresting through the darkness cross my eyes
I can dream of you forever and it's then I realize
If an ember's still there glowing and the fire has all but died
We may meet again as lovers in our Golden Years of life
(Solo)

As the days pass slowly by us think of me every now and then
I believe outside my window I'll see your face again
If you never take that moment I'll be sad to lose you friend
And until the end of time, in my heart you'll beat til then
And the picture in my pocket will remind me as it fades
You're the only love I've known that will never go away.
