[ar:flower face]
[al:homesick]
[00:21.19]bare legs in the snow, you cut my hair
[00:28.13]and told me to get some sleep
[00:35.92]i don't want to do anything without you
[00:43.19]i don't want to do anything at all
[00:48.39]the snow filled the air, an icing sugar dream
[00:55.32]i wrote my name on the window
[01:02.65]you closed all the doors as the lights went out
[01:08.04]living by candlelight during the storm
[01:17.08]they all shake their heads, write poisonous words
[01:24.43]in ink that stains my skin
[01:29.95]though i fall apart so easily, you keep your head
[01:36.02]reassuring and promising me
[01:45.27]you said,"i will take care of you, i don't care if it's not allowed
[01:53.97]say what they will, we don't have to stick around
[02:00.14]we can go anywhere, we can go anyplace that you want
[02:13.07]oh please baby don't cry, slow down and hold my hand
[02:20.77]i love you, believe me, but your search for a better man
[02:27.60]has left you so bitter, shaken by the winter wind
[02:40.44]and i know that you're scared, i know that you're tired of this
[02:48.15]afraid of the thoughts you can't get out of your head
[02:55.02]you never expected, you never see it coming at all."
[03:08.46]your voice on the phone is the only thing that i've known
[03:19.20]to be pure
[03:25.71]the words you speak circulate and they keep my heart awake
[03:32.74]i am sure
[03:40.11]though your memories exceed mine, you were a child in another time
[03:46.68]i know what i need
[03:53.70]right now i'm waiting for you, it's all i know how to do
[04:01.10]regardless of what may follow, we'll proceed
[04:13.44]we can run away in the night, escape it all, everything
[04:21.02]go to new york or straight up to outer space
[04:27.74]make love in the clouds, sleep soundly among the angels
[04:40.63]we have suitcases filled with road maps and dollar bills
[04:48.41]train tickets, coffee cups and decades of time to kill
[04:55.27]i want you right now, i want you til the day that i die
[05:08.18]there's a war in the sky, gunfire and burning flags
[05:15.75]but nothing compares to the battle my heart has waged
[05:22.09]if i die by your hand, i will die with your flag at my side.
