It's getting much colder
Beyond the sky's bright light
I see white smoke fading
Upon last summer’s Sun
Dissolving into honey

I let my lonely bones speak louder
And I can't tell the colour of your eyes
But I feel them burn a fire through my skin
And the rain runs up and down my gutters
You hang inside me, build my sweet ruin

Dust rests on my floor and I dance on its dirt
This home wasn't made for one
Winter falls upon me, so blue and icy chic
It crawls into my steel heart
And the rain runs up and down my curtains
With tiny feet that I long to find
And I wish I knew you like I knew them
You are more beautiful in the rainfall

There is solitude on the river
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
You run through me and I shiver
Like black ice on my grave

Ooh, ooh
It's heavy in my blood
I am no longer light
I feel lead in my chest
Running by the freight trains
I'm hiding with the homely
In their cardboard beds
And I wish I had the touch
Of your hands but I feel them
Running a symphony
And I wish I knew you
Like I knew your songs
But I'm just a wretch
Resting on your chords

There is solitude on the river
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
You run through me and I shiver like
Black ice on my grave
There is solitude on the river
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
You run through me and I shiver
Like black ice on my grave

You are my saving grace the songbird
That lands on my hand, to bring me life
I want to cherish you for longer
Than your wings will let you fly
