Her cheeks were red and cold And I held her hand in mine She squeezed it tight and I felt the warmth Escape my bones inside We saw a storm from far away And we laughed as it wandered by Then it turned around to hunt us down So we ran away to hide and she said:
Love don’t leave me now Love don’t leave me now
Her heart was beating fast And I hoped that we could stay In our hiding place where it was warm And cold could not invade We laughed aloud and talked of things That happened yesterday But the storm could hear our voices clear So it came on its way and she said:
Love don’t leave me now Love don’t leave me now
Well lives in love won’t last If they won’t face the day Will you answer this, she said And I hoped it was just a game But I saw her skin change before me And cold became her face So I took my hand from hers And began to walk away
Love don’t leave me now Love don’t leave me now Love don’t leave me now Love don’t leave me now
