Now that I look for you and you're not here I remember
That only sadness wants to talk to me
Now that the rain has taken away
The last shred of your dress
Now that I have forgotten what I am
I remember in the past what I have been

If I have been what I was, it was because of your body
If I have been night, it was your night that wanted it
If I have been a kiss, it's because my lips learned to be a kiss for you
If I have been what I am, it was in your lap
If I have been life, it was to give you life
Friend, friend
How sweet that word sounds today

Time was not time between us
Being together, we felt infinite
And the universe was small compared to what we were, you and I

If you were what you were, it was in my house
Which for you was your palace and your lair
Friend, friend
How sweet that word sounds and how simple that word sounds today

There is no darker night than this night and the cold
Is settling in the corners of the soul
And now that silence is erasing
The soft vibration of your words
Now that I am barely anything
I remember what I was when you were not here

If I have been what I was, it was because of your body
If I have been night, it was your night that wanted it
If I have been a kiss, it's because my lips learned to be a kiss for you
If I have been what I am, it was in your lap
If I have been life, it was to give you life
