Summary

The ranger is also faced with the ultimate loss of love.

The last three words from your lips

Before your last goodnight kiss

Were three words I'll remember for all time

I love you

But now you're asleep and I'm alone

There's only work, the forest is my home

Where I find my heart reminds me

That I love you

But lady I won't cry

If I can't remember your face

I've spent too many years

Of living in this winter on my own

The dreams that come true for me

Are only fantasies I can't feel or see

And I just think about all our good times

When I loved you

But lady I won't die

Though I'm not living in your grace

I've spent too many years

Of warming from the cold on my own

And in the dark, I'll say

When the fish eyed dreams left that day

I once loved you, for all time -

But it's dark

And it's cold

My heart is growing old

The promises we made died with you

I can't love you
