story behind the song: a morphing of conversations between the difference of permanent loss of a mate and the loss due to changing relationships. Since i have a rather limited imagination at times this is "sans elle" rather than "sans lui" though i am open to a duet lol.
Lyrics
not long now til the cold comes again
not long now til those winter winds
footprints in sand, turn to footprints in snow
both disappearing as the wind blows
pretty soon now the birds will fly south
pretty soon now the cold will reach out
as day becomes night, now night becomes day
both learning to shiver as the warmth fades
worth seems to get lost
in the darkness
of sans elle
and yet as the leaves change to dye
wind gently fades their rustling goodbyes
greys now the colours, in the palette of old
memories of love that once touched my soul
hurt seems to get lost
in the darkness
of sans elle
my world seems to get lost
in this darkness
of sans elle
