Rings - Sailship

I waited there for you in a twinkling snowfall

Evading every truth to stubbornly stand tall

And you passed hand in hand with a better man

My flames lit up the night

As everything I’ve waited for

Is runnin' out that open door

With everything I’m tryin' to be

Will everything I sacrifice

Find me in another life

With everything I fail to see?

Beneath the fallin' snow, I let you go

And whispered your name

And though I wanted you so

I put a ring on every finger but one

(I put a ring on every finger but one)

The snow began to melt as a fire erupted

Every flake fell away, just like our love did

My body burnin' bright on the side of a street

My ashes take its place

As everything I’ve waited for

Is runnin' out that open door

With everything I’m tryin' to be

Will everything I sacrifice

Find me in another life

With everything I fail to see?

Beneath the falling snow, I let you go

And whispered your name

And though I wanted you so

I put a ring on every finger but one

Now here’s one last twinkling Christmas

When I was alone the whole way home and have been since

But my reckless heart relentlessly persists

As everything I’ve waited for

Is runnin' out that open door

With everything I’m tryin' to be

Will everything I sacrifice

Find me in another life

With everything I fail to see?

Beneath the falling snow, I let you go

And whispered your name

And though I wanted you so

I put a ring on every finger but one
