Let the water freeze on the doorstep Keep inside all the worries in your head Stay warm like a sweater on an old man
How do you sleep at night? I wonder Does the tension leave your bed? I’ve asked myself this question once or twice But I can’t comprehend
I just want to be remembered as the staple That held the pages together Is this too much to ask for?
I just want to be remembered Like the weather in the winter So brisk, so fresh, so strong Never loose your focus Your sense of direction Is this too much to ask for?
I just want to be remembered like a flood in the spring You will find beauty in the act of drowning You’ll loose your focus The notes, the purpose Your sense of direction You’ve lost your motive
Tell me If these callused hands brushed the skin on your back Would it make you warm and content? Or would your spinal cord collapse?
Let the wind chimes get the spotlight They promise to sing us a lullaby If they ever know we’re listening They’ll shut our eyes Let the water freeze on the doorstep Keep inside all the worries in your head
