Ring On The Sill Lyrics - Pale Sun, Crescent Moon - Cowboy Junkies

She placed her ring on the sill, 

dishes piled high 

She's on the front porch step 

and the air smells like snow 

She's thinking of the siege to come 

and how she'll miss those weekends 

in the park with the sun on her face 

and her book by her side and that 

lingering taste that he left on her tongue

He lifts his glass from the table 

It leaves a ring where it stood 

He sees the light from the window 

caress her like he knows he should 

He's remembering the first time he kissed her 

and how he'd wake 

and immediately he'd miss her, 

like a spell, with each breath, 

he'd taste her breath like a haunting, 

irritating as hell 

Do you remember when you'd pray 

to never see the day 

when someone would make you feel this way 

'Cause you knew 

they would cut right through you 

and once inside, you were afraid they'd find 

nothing to hold on to

He puts her ring on her finger, 

she brushes back his hair 

He takes a sip from his glass, 

she inhales the cold fall air 

And they're thinking of the long road ahead 

and the strength that they will need 

just to reach the end 

And there in the silence they search for 

the balance between this fear that they feel 

and a love that has graced their lives
