i think i'd rather wait for the winter to come |
|
i never make a move when i'm out in the sun |
|
i'll be ready to forgive your foolish mistake |
|
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake |
|
i need a good night of sleeping, i need a little more time |
|
i need to sleep for a few months before i make up my mind |
|
i'll be up early in the morning and wide awake |
|
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake |
|
i saw your face in a dream, i heard your name in a vision |
|
i give myself a season before i make a decision |
|
my knees will be steady and my hands won't shake |
|
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake |
|
there's a lot of things i'm doing i never thought i would do |
|
there's a lot of places in the world that i would never go to without you |
|
right now i need to stay home and i don't need your company |
|
right now i need to alone and i need you to stay away from me |
|
i love the smell of your hair and the blue of your eyes |
|
but you're far too complicated and you tell a lot of lies |
|
i'll see what's right and what's wrong, i'll see what's true and what's fake |
|
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake |
|
and then i'll send out invitations to my family in france |
|
they will come all the way from sweden, they will come all the way from france |
|
my brother will bless the wine and my sister will bake a cake |
|
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake |
|
then when the time is right and when i think i understand |
|
when i forget that you're a runaway, that you've had another man |
|
you'll come to me crawling as fast as a snake |
|
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake |
|
there's a lot of things i'm doing i never thought i would do |
|
there's a lot of places in the world that i would never go to without you |
|
but right now i need to stay home and i don't need your company |
|
right now i need to alone and i need you to stay away from me |
|
(come on brother) |
|
and then in the white of the snow and the quite of nature |
|
i will ask you to stay with me no matter the temperature |
|
i hope you'll say: "yes" and won't try to escape |
|
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake |
