The Weather Station - Loyalty lyrics

Well you called me – telephone ringing in the night And you asked me if I was alright – Like an afterthought, an oversight And I stood, so surprised Trying to hold on to my pride So close, I could hear your low sigh I said I was fine. You said you were fine There's a loneliness – I don't lose sight of it Like a high distant satellite One side in shadow, one in light But I didn't mind to be alone that night, in a city I'd never seen – all these skyscrapers pooling on a prairie Built high and tall, as though they all compete Just to reach the darkness up above That once here had been Somewhere – if there's a beauty you had seen in me That I wanted somehow to believe – drift of sentiment and memory That I couldn't have, I could not keep No, it never did belong to me; it was only ever another thing I would carry Still it held me, loyalty, to a feeling, to some glimpse Of a love that was only ever a kind of distance That we could not cross. “Gather no moss.”
