Lyrics

I had to hide myself in a book to keep your love away
The pages worn with all of my faults, the cover torn away

I gave my life to the Water God for an apprenticeship
Answering his mail and his door, for nyads, hyppogryphs
After Midwinter Banquet, he shook his head, “Sadly, no,
I can reverse the river’s flow, but I can never send you home”

I had to hide myself in a book to keep your love away
When you read me, I get to look back at my younger days
