The Duke's Men

It Started in the Winter

It started in the winter
It ended in the fall
We ruffled through Lolita
And somehow you didn't
See me at all

And then I mumbled something
And you raised your eye
A fiery little evening
And then we said good-bye

We started in the winter
And pushed on towards the fall
Lay safe in Ivory sheets and
Sketch verses of Shakespeare
'Round your bedroom wall

But we were not like Shakespeare
Ran out of things to say
And like our penciled verses
Began to fade away

I won't hear when you say
That this somehow can't work
That we don't have the time
That the distance between us
is too much

And I know the time and the palace
The time with the view
My hand on your leg
And your scuffed yellow shoe
And we were just perfect
I know this is true
But do I just know it?
Just me and not you?

It started in the winter
It ended in the fall
Some markings on a calendar
Beginning and ending
I guess that's all

Some things they last forever
And some things, well, they don't
It started in the winter
But I still wonder
Do you still scoff at Ophelia?
What's he think of Humbert
Humbert?

It started in the winter
It ended in the fall
