lyrics

Let’s walk against the forest fence
It won’t be like this ever again
The snow’s not like forgiving sand
Erasing steps with water’s hand

This field was once a drop-leaf table
And we played at being its centerpiece
But even geese can see from air
That all the setting’s disappeared

Don’t take that step you can’t unstep
But if you must let my foot fit where yours once was
Don’t speak those words you can’t unspeak
This field has no footprints and is so lovely

With a night as bright as this you see
The shapes you cast all fit to me
I try to leave less trace than you
As we skirt the edge beside the view

Don’t take a breath you can’t release
Into a plume of smoke I’m sure I’ll see
Don’t speak those words I can’t unhear
This field is so silent and is so lovely

To give is best than than to receive
So give a Christmas Blank to me
No words no deeds no traveling through
And I’ll give nothing back to you

Don’t take that step you can’t unstep
But if you must let my foot fit where yours once rests
Don’t speak those words you can’t unspeak
This field has no footprints and is so lovely
