Lyrics

[00:27] I trace your footprints in the snow
[00:30] from my house to your door
[00:34] when it gets dark
[00:39] The train stops running in our ghosts
[00:43] dangers lie in all the snow
[00:47] I go on foot
[00:53] The railway through the time
[00:55] as the windows of your friends
[00:58] when I went to the sea
[01:02] I pass the stations and the bars
[01:08] I pass the ruins of the house
[01:10] where people lived
[01:14] the ghost of your mother came to me
[01:18] in a dream
[01:20] and said you are not far
[01:25] I made my plans from a window of a dream
[01:32] headed for that ghost
[01:40] There are no photographs to prove
[01:42] you existed in it all
[01:47] that you ever were
[01:54] Letters that I meant to write
[01:58] about movies and the times
[02:01] they are left on down
[02:04] These days most things are still the same
[02:08] I am embarrassed by afraid
[02:12] of you are on a stiff
[02:16] I still went to bay at night;
[02:20] count the birds on the whites
[02:23] to fall asleep
[02:28] the ghost of your mother came to me
[02:32] in a dream
[02:36] and said you are not far
[02:40] I've made my plans from a window of a dream
[02:46] headed for that ghost
[02:55] Streets are quiet now
[02:57] It's late
[02:59] There is no one around
[03:02] I cross where I liked
[03:07] I don't remember anything
[03:10] about what I did last night
[03:13] or where I was
[03:17] The window whistles in the trees
[03:20] starts singing to the sea
[03:25] But there are no words
[03:30] I trace your footprints in the snow
[03:34] from my house to your door
[03:38] when it gets dark
[03:40] The ghost of your mother
[03:43] whispered in my ear
[03:47] "you were not enough"
[03:54] So I made my plans from a window of a dream
[04:00] headed for that ghost
