Blue Rodeo - You Said

You once said you could read my mind
So I thought about clouds and told you lies
Still I always thought you could see what hides
Behind these broken eyes

We stood on a hill far from the city glow
The wind blew our footprints away in the snow
The wind blew our footprints away in the snow

You looked to the north star
You looked back through me
You wondered who was the more deceived
The man in the moon or all the stars in the sky

While the sky turns like a giant wheel
You said that I was your cross to bare
Still you liked it better when I was there

But you were tired of having to play the role
Of being there for someone
Who's always out of control
The wind blew our footprints away in the snow

You once said you could read my mind
So I thought about clouds and I told you lies
