It was winter
It was winter when i saw you
Hauntingly cold on the church pew
You spoke of forgiveness and fear
To a divine spirit, not here
We were quiet that winter blue
Seeking answers of what is true
In sadness, i remembered you
An old face from laughter and tears
It was winter
We were alone and said words few
Ghoulish soul in jaded eyes; you
Past photos of us, faded peer
But now your ghost just haunts me here
And there we sat on the church pew
It was winter
