about

I lost man's/my best friend a couple of months ago, after 17 years. This song is an exploration of the difficult process of letting her go.

lyrics

I heard her feet
crunch through hard snow
scents beckon down paths
tracing out trails only she knew
I called out to her
"it's cold. it's time to go."
(she didn't hear)

your gift, these
beautiful memories,
keep me floating on
life slipped,
now everything's empty
your memory keeps nudging me along

how many years
have we trudged through the heart of snow?
scents beckon down paths
tracing out trails I'll never know
I call out to her
"you're cold. it's finally time to go."
(she couldn't hear)

your gift of
beautiful memories
keeps me floating on
life slipped,
now everything's empty
your memory keeps nudging me along

I just hope you've finally found some peace
I just hope you've finally found some peace

your gift, these
beautiful memories,
keep me floating on
life slipped,
now everything's empty
your memory keeps nudging me along

(what do you do when everything's empty?)
(all's gone quiet and it's just your thoughts?)
(thought I'd been taking care of you, but)
(come to find out it was the other way 'round)

your gift of beautiful memories
keeps me floating on...

this ol' dog's so tired of layin' 'round
this dog's blind, and
this dog's deaf
don't know how to say goodbye, but
this ol' dog's so tired of layin' 'round
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
it's time, it's time, it's time
it's time to let go
