More than once I have searched for you in dreams
More than once I have found you there
Down the path to where I knew you would be waiting
Staring out into the dark

And his words lie heavy with me
Their weight has shifted something fundamental
And the things I carried with me
Seemed so important 'til I set them aside

I have changed, I have changed, I am still changing
A person's shape is a fluid thing
In these dreams the shapes become clearer
And you are a light in the dark

And his words lie heavy with me
Their weight has shifted something fundamental
And the things I carried with me
Seemed so important 'til I set them aside

I can see this vision so clearly (I see these shapes so clearly)
We meet again by chance in New York (You and I meet again)
The tall buildings light up your eyes (Lost among these tall buildings)
We watch the skyline as the night falls (I find a friendly face)
And I wonder if I'll ever tell you (And I know I'll never tell you)
You were a reason to leave and to stay

So bitter so sweet (so bitter, so bitter yet so sweet)
So strong and so weak
Your affection's always marked with distance
So bitter so sweet (so bitter, so bitter yet so sweet)
Too sarcastic to reach
But when you spoke your words would cut right through me

And his words lie heavy with me
Their weight has shifted something fundamental
And the things I carried with me
Seemed so important 'til I set them aside
And his words lie heavy with me
Their weight has shifted something fundamental
And the truth I take with me now
Is the truth as you gave it to me
