Orange lamps shine by willow bay
Ice covers from the lake to where I lay
In a state
In which I dream

If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone

But instead I sit atop the crest
Looking down on the valley where the dead rest
And every morning I wake beside myself

But I digress

If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone

If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone

If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone

    General Comment:It's obviouly about longing the chorus says it all "If you were here, Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow, And if you were here, Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone."

    General Comment:i love that double meaning, "every morning i wake beside myself." you could be 'beside yourself' with emotion ie. sadness. it seems to be about though how he used to wake up beside someone else, but now he's alone.
