once again

once again the wind will blow cold 
the ice will come with months of snow 
that restless feeling fills your soul 
where is that place you need to go? 

dreams that wrap around your mind 
of mountains and starry summer nights 
those days of wandering partially blind 
don't keep you warm at all tonight 

that temptation to just break away 
the piper gone now that he's been paid 
as you climbed the steepest grade 
the shadows that you try to persuade 

you once revealed it all to me 
the list you needed to set you free
after days and months of disbelief 
on some things we will never agree 

I read your mind but not your heart
after all of my tries, the stops and starts 
the passion that played the biggest part 
innuendo spoken in our remarks 

I couldn't pass your litmus test 
never the one that you loved best 
like History that gets laid to rest 
you begin again, just one more quest 

once again the wind will blow cold
the ice will come with months of snow 
that restless feeling recaptures your soul 
where is that place you long to go?
