February - Dar Williams[00:00:00]
I threw your keys in the water I looked back[00:00:16]
They'd frozen halfway down in the ice[00:00:21]
They froze up so quickly the keys and their owners[00:00:29]
Even after the anger it all turned silent[00:00:34]
And the everyday turned solitary so we came to February[00:00:40]
First we forgot where we'd planted those bulbs last year[00:00:58]
And then we forgot that we'd planted it all[00:01:04]
Then we forgot what plants are altogether[00:01:11]
And I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting[00:01:17]
And the nights were long and cold and scary can we live through February [00:01:23]
You know I think Christmas was a long red glare[00:01:41]
Shot up like a warning we gave presents without cards[00:01:46]
And then the snow and then the snow came[00:01:52]
We were always out shoveling and we dropped to sleep exhausted[00:01:55]
Then we wake up and it's snowing[00:02:02]
And February was so long that it lasted into March[00:02:10]
And found us walking a path alone together[00:02:16]
You stopped and pointed and you said "That's a crocus"[00:02:23]
And I said "What's a crocus " And you said "It's a flower"[00:02:28]
I tried to remember but I said "What's a flower "[00:02:35]
You said "I still love you"[00:02:41]
The leaves were turning as we drove to the hardware store[00:02:56]
My new lover made me keys to the house[00:03:01]
And when we got home well we just started chopping wood[00:03:08]
Because you never know how next year will be[00:03:14]
And we'll gather all our arms can carry I have lost to February[00:03:20]
