lyrics

Ariel, you know there’re some things I’m not sorry for
But when I’m drinking myself down a hole, it’s you I’m thinking of
When the winter shrouds this boring town
I will trudge through snow wishing you were around
Ariel, to curse the snowflakes with me as they fall
Ariel, I hope you’re somewhere where the weather’s warm
I’ve been walking down these icy roads; someday I’ll disappear
When the snow pulls down on my bending boughs
I will dream of a place where you’re safe and sound
Ariel, and I’ll hope to hell you’ll find it
Ariel, I hope this finds you smiling
And if I could believe for a moment that these words mean anything
I’d sing until the world fell dead asleep
Ariel, I thought that if you stayed gone long enough
I wouldn’t think of getting tangled up with you ever again
But the past has a way of making you stay
And those sour grapes seem so much sweeter to me
Ariel, when your memory still haunts me
When I think about those days
It looks like that famous picture of the VJ day parade
And through a haze of ticker tape
I can see you clad in white with that smile on your face
Just another memory I’ll lose to time
You’re just another memory I’ll lose to time
