Shiver through the fever, silence of the trees 
 Chasing woes of my weary soul, blight of the leaves 
 Rest from your trouble, lay while you wait 
 Dream something beautiful 
 Fill these blank pages with rue, each one 
    Patient you stayed by my side for years 
 I know I owe you, more than I have 
 Given the words that will make you leave 
 There's nothing left here, no one to save 
 How we share this hopeless devotion 
 Passing the hours as if they were days 
 And I won't breathe until it's over 
 No turning back here, no final escape   
 Bide here for the closing, fearless by the sea 
 Time to let go of what always been there, peacefully 
 Struck by your silence, drenched 
 In my doubt, numb from the burning cold   
 Tear out the pages 
 Change what I said 
 Mend my wrong   
 Patient you stayed by my side for years 
 I know I owe you, more than I have 
 Given the words that will make you leave 
 There's nothing left here, no one to save 
 How we share this hopeless devotion 
 Passing the hours as if they were days 
 And I won't breathe until it's over 
 No turning back here, no final escape
