lost in the sheets
ghosts of lovers past
as the snowflakes fell
we danced on thin ice
wondering when the dream would end
hands held tight
kept us from falling
our hearts imprisoned
we stared at empty souls
secretly praying it would come through
it was getting colder
our fingers getting number
lips carved with silence
neither of us could speak
hoping we wouldn't let go
gramophone in the distance
playing our favourite song
we moved through the night
caressed the fireflies
that fluttered in our hearts
then stars began to fall
melting the ice below
falling into our graves
burning lights of tokyo in the distance
it was time to let go
