In Winter

Pullover here
Let’s get some rest
A big day ahead of us
Your stage work lacks depth

My child
Don’t make a sound
It’s time to sleep now

I gave it all to you

Heart like a rock
Head like the sky
With cloudbursts of chemicals
Improving your life

My girl
Is a fortress so proud
And she’s not coming out

I gave it all to you

I need to
Waste these precious days
Till the pain subsides

In winter
I sit by the old wood stove
And let the wet clothes dry

Tell me if you ever meant it
My path was straight but then you bent it

You’re my light and I am your shadow
Cut glass inside your window
This ghost won’t ever come back
My light

We’re with you
The corporate message shines
In the young man’s eyes

Everything I’ve learned was wrong
But I’m getting close to knowing something right

Tell me what is your intention
To build these lives and just upend them

You’re my light and I am your shadow
Cut glass inside your window
This ghost won’t ever come back
My light

You broke out from April 'till Autumn
Sinned sins but quickly forget them
Go now and don’t ever come back
My light

Let me off the hook
I wanna run wild
Get tangled in the sheets
With a lover
That isn’t you

‘Cause I was on my own
When you were by my side
So there’s no difference now
Except there’s nothing to hide

Let me go on without you
Let me go on

Oh how the night gives way to the dawn
We were the dew on the morning lawn
Our love was beautiful but now it’s gone

There’s no coming back
After you showed me who you are
We can’t ever be
What we were
But it wasn’t real
You were just playing a part
To keep from being alone
And there’s no hiding now
Since you retired the role

Let me go on without you
Let me go on

Oh how the night gives way to the dawn
We were the dew on the morning lawn
Our love was beautiful but now it’s gone
