There's a hail around the moon tonight
They say it's got to do with ice
And I wonder at the warmth of something so cold
In the morning there'll be nothing there
Just honest wind and cold clearing
And I hope that you'll return before I'm old
Memories put faces in
Empty chairs that I begin to notice
From the edges of the square
I'll read your letters, hold the phone
Aware that I am not alone
I can't touch you but I know you're there
There's a hail around the sun today
There's a hail around the sun today

It feels so in some strange way
That because we see the same sky
We could be in the same place
I've forgotten why I stayed behind
Right aside but in my mind
And I still see everything
I've been so lost
I think of the details of your face
Memories put faces in
Empty chairs that I begin to notice
From the edges of the square
I'll read your letters, hold the phone
Aware that I am not alone
And I hope that you'll return before I'm old
Memories put faces in


I'll read your letters, hold the phone
I read your letters, hold the phone
Well then, I am not alone
I can't touch you, but I know you're there
Falling asleep and I know that I dream
Things that we've spoken, visions we've seen
I know that he hears me whisper, my friend
I know that he gave you that halo you wear
Memories put faces in
The empty chairs that I begin to notice
Around the edges of the square
I read your letters, hold the phone
Aware that I am not alone
I can't touch you, but I know you're there
I read your letters, hold the phone
Aware that I am not alone
I can't touch you, but I know you're there
I can't touch you, but I know you're there
I can't touch you, but I know you're there
I can't touch you, but I know you're there
