"Robin In The Snow" Lyrics

I saw a robin flying in the snow
Fluttering low
Isn't the season, how could he not know?
It's much too cold

I saw a robin captive to the wind
Time, running thin
I said, "Dear robin, what a state you're in
You can't get out again"

And just like that
Simple as the sight of feathered wings
The robin was gone
And only I saw this bird of spring
Sing one very last winter song

And who will miss you when you're gone?
Who will miss you when you're gone?
I will miss you if you go away
Please, don't leave me here

Candle's burned out now
Stayed up 'til the wax dripped, to the floor
I was talking to you, can't seem to let go
So we say one thing more

And you're like rain falling in the evening
Whispering, darlin', go to sleep
Oh, the pain, this love has got me reelin'
Brings me to my knees, so bittersweet

And who will miss you when you're gone?
Who will miss you when you're gone?
I will miss you if you go away
Please, don't leave me here

The good, the bad, the in-between
Is it all just one impermanent dream?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And here I am as the sun slinks slowly
In the pale steel sky and where are you?
Are you thinking of me
As the moon above you does rise?

And who will miss me when I'm gone?
Who will miss me when I'm gone?
Would you miss me should I go away?
I won't leave you here

Would you miss me should I go away?
I won't leave you here
