All the waters run out
And you sit there wet
There’s a high-speed chase
On the TV set
And I think to myself
“Why hate the winter?”
The fireplace glows
On the snow outside
You’ve a towel around your head
Words in your eyes
They’re the words I would say
If only I was braver
But it’s much too cold
To run like a dog all alone
So come to my side
And snuggle with me and the blanket
Don’t offer your love
‘Cause I’m not the one who should take it
I’ll batten the doors and the windows too
The radioman says it’s negative two
And then he puts on the song
That just wouldn’t fit in the summer
Your body it sways its so fragile and bare
You say “Won’t you come here and play in my hair?”
But I still like a tree
Taken by a shiver
And it’s much too cold
To run like a dog all alone
So come to my side
And snuggle with me and the blanket
Don’t offer your love
‘Cause I’m not the one who should take it
Floorboards are quiet
And cold to the feet
And I cry like a child
‘Cause you’d gone to sleep
And I’d give you my soul
If it wasn’t that of a sinner
You are no virgin Mary
No angel so clean
And there’s no telling all of
The damage you’ve seen
But your skin makes for me
A warm screaming reminder
But it’s much too cold
So come to my side
And snuggle with me and the blanket
Don’t offer your love
‘Cause I’m not a man who could take it
