about

This is for one of my very dear friends, who told me once that he was "the boy that winter followed." And asked me to write a song about that.

lyrics

I’d a boy just like the summer
Sneakers, jeans, and wayward hair
Local brews and outdoor concerts
Rode his bike to take him there
And he sometimes even loved me
Calloused hands upon my hips
But I felt it when he kissed me
How he barely moved his lips

I’d a boy just like the autumn
Russet gold and lapis skies
Straight and slender as an aspen
With the storm caught in his eyes
And he maybe even loved me
Like a book held in his hands
But he never tried to kiss me
And I didn’t understand

I’d a boy just like the springtime
Meadow-sweet and drenched in dew
And his heart was like a blossom
Every word he said was true
And he tells me that he loves me
Like the starlight and the moon
And I think I really love him
But it’s hard to tell so soon

I’d a boy just the winter
With his eyes as green as ice
And his touch was like a snowflake
That I craved at any price
And his heart was like the darkness
Clear and deep and vast and wide
And I stood among that vastness
There was nowhere left to hide

He’s the boy that winter followed
He’s the boy that winter dreamed
And whatever shape he summoned
He was never what he seemed
Oh, my boy that winter followed
All alone at winter’s door
Now I follow like the winter
He’s the boy that I adore
