Hem - While My Hand Was Letting Go lyrics

The time that I remember seeing
Nothing in the sun a tremor in my bones at
Last light something had begun
The light between the buildings didn't
Rise as high or strong
But slanted through the window like it
Did when days were long

The frost fell on the park when
All the schoolboys went inside
The postman and policeman dropped their
Hat and clipped their stride
And wind stirs on the sidewalk and
It hangs outside the door
Waiting on the summer while we
Lay right on the floor

But when I see over the avenues
And when I know what I know
Just like the sleep when all our days are new
Below singing asleep I dreamt beside you
While my hand was letting go

You left a slight impression on
The corner of the chair
If you were walking past it you
Might never know it's there
If you were walking past it though
And I was standing by
Oh, I was standing near to you
As you were walking by

But when I see over the avenues
And when I know what I know
Just like the sleep when all our days are new
Below singing asleep I dreamt beside you
While my hand was letting go
Asleep I dreamt beside you while
My hand was letting go
