For Lack Of Better Words

I'm fine, I'm alright
it's just been a long winter

mouth is dry
I watch the sea
you're the way that I see you
behind me

look behind
I squint to see
through the haze
I've been wrong

you walk with a certain
determination
you meet my eye
only when you want to

look behind
I squint to see
through the haze

that time the branch fell
tree held ice
over the barn where the horse froze

clammy hands
they gripped my sleeve
so who can tell me
what I've seen

look behind
I squint to see
through the haze
I've been wrong
