Winter '05 Lyrics
Orange lamps shine by willow bay
Ice covers from the lake to where I lay
In a state
In which I dream
If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone
But instead I sit atop the crest
Looking down on the valley where the dead rest
And every morning I wake beside myself
But I digress
If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone
If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone
If you were here
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone
Ice covers from the lake to where I lay
In a state
In which I dream
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone
Looking down on the valley where the dead rest
And every morning I wake beside myself
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone
Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow
And if you were here
Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone

i love that double meaning, "every morning i wake beside myself." you could be 'beside yourself' with emotion ie. sadness. it seems to be about though how he used to wake up beside someone else, but now he's alone.
It's obviouly about longing the chorus says it all "If you were here, Winter wouldn't pass quite so slow, And if you were here, Then i'd have a choice to live not be alone."
i think it may be about john pike's death and the loneliness that losing a friend leaves you with
"But I digress"
I love when he says that.
I believe it is what hey, gorgeous. said. .. john pike's tragic sudden death in 2007. but why is it called '05 then?
