snow in september

simple to know you like this
when the winter won't change
from september it's strange
i remember your name
like a satellite
i'm in the orbit
of your inner circle
and now at your window

snowflakes are paper
in my winter wonder why you
were so distant with her
seems to get you by fine
in the centre of our disconnection
it's strange
i remember you name
not your face

and it's safe / safe
like falling down at your feet / safe
only a second to wait / wait
and break in the centre
and snow in september

harder to know you weren't there
with the sympathy choir
in the books they had
words for your genius but
i'm in the core of your piece now
it's better to let the confusion
of all this go under

it's safe / safe
like falling down at your feet / safe
only a second to wait / wait
and break in the centre
and snow in september

it's safe / safe
like falling down at your feet / safe
only a second to break
and wait for the ending
it's all just pretending
it's --
