Lyrics

I'm writing to you, cause I wrote to a frost
It's winter again and I'm feeling lost
It was this time last year
When I was wiping my tears
Traveling roads that brought me nowhere
Yes I should have left my ticket at the gate
The buses are not known to sit and wait
From my seat I watched the geese fly down
From your northern town
I left you behind why did I leave you there

The warmth of your bed
With you next to me instead
Of empty sheets, it was the first thing I saw at dawn
Oh The walk across the hardwood floors
Brings aches to my core
Before you know it the suns already gone

Well this isn't the first time I've looked back
On warm nights hearing a fire's crack
But ashes to ashes
It gets cold as time passes
I felt you behind, why did I leave you there

If you write back, and I hope that you do
I'll start saving to make it back to you
It may take a while
But I want to see your smile
I left you behind, why did I leave you there
I meant to write to you for days
Sorry I went so far away
I left you behind, why did I leave you there
