the park

(from the Feist album, The Reminder, released Tuesday)

lyrics I can't get out of my head:

Why would he come back through the park?
You thought that you saw him, but no, you did not.
It's not him who'd come across the sea to surprise you,
Not him who would know where in London to find you.

Sadness so real that it populates
The city and leaves you homeless again.
Steam from the cup and snow on the path,
The seasons have changed from present to past.

(The past
Turns whole to half)

Why would he come back through the park?
You thought that you saw him, but no, you did not.
Who can be sure of anything through
The distance that keeps you from knowing the truth?
Why would you think your boy could become
The man who could make you sure he was the one?

Her voice, her lyrics... what a magical combination. Practically perfect in every way?

Don't know who I'm talking about?
