Two ravens in the old oak tree
And one for you and one for me
And bluebells in the late December
I see signs now all the time
The last time we slept together
There was something that was not there
You never wanted to alarm me
But I'm the one that's drowning now

I could sleep forever these days
'Cause in my dreams I see you again
But this time fleshed out fuller face
In your confirmation dress
It was so like you to visit me
To let me know you were okay
It was so like you to visit me
Always worried about someone else

At your funeral I was so upset
So, so upset
In your life you were larger than this
Statue statuesque

I see signs now all the time
That you're not dead, you're sleeping
I believe in anything
That brings you back home to me

I see signs now all the time
That you're not dead, you're sleeping
I believe in anything
That brings you back home to me

    I haven't even had anyone really close to me die of cancer, let alone a lover, so whilst I cannot relate to this song lyrically, the music makes me feel.... the glockenspiel, the synths... I listened to this at work today and that was a bad idea. I had tears running down my face!

    It reminds me of "Clair de Lune" by Flight Facilities.
