warm songs for cold days

I spent Christmas living at home Where its cold but too coastal to snow Where nobody ever stays past January third The town is full of yellow lights Fogged up windows and chimney fires Every building painted blue and red A pile of jackets in the door on the left I saw someone I could never forget A ghost from some old film that I'd lived Wrapped up in turquoise coats She said "it's been so long I'm glad you're well What brings you home To this old hell?" I guess it's just the time of year Things are slowing down and I need the air See old friends, and how they've been Someone told me you moved out of Berlin Did you find what you were looking for? I know it's tough to make it out of this hole But if anyone could, it's true, it would be you I was going for a swim When everything came back to me Under water every inch of skin Felt the touch of memory Now I finally know Where it all began I might try it on If I can Turquoise coats and a chimney fire Hotel bars till some early hour Catching up a falling leaf A life changing colour as she Falls into me

Willow trees sewn silver fabric on the rug Thrown on a couch where the leather is torn She put tea on a nightstand, sat on the floor It was Christmas at the weekend, we should've been home I had so many questions, but I bit my tongue It's not fair to destroy time that's been shared The window was open, radio played "And so this is Christmas" and so it is I don't care about the weather Like you want me to It's just another cold December With a new year fading in There's a beautiful game She taught me to play Talking 'bout tomorrow Like its a lifetime away We'd only be so lucky if tonight would never end Always the week before Christmas Always convinced we're just friends I don't care about the weather Like I care about you It could rain all day tomorrow And it wouldn't spoil the mood We stared into a silence, Blinked slower every hour Next I knew it was tomorrow The sun was barely there It had snowed while we were sleeping The street was still and white Ice had froze the window The cold keeping us down I don't care about the weather But it suits you so well All the blankets and the pillows You've wrap yourself in

To the seaside Sand in our shoes The dead of midnight To look at the moon It's almost full tonight On new years day Worth the drive out Though its said that it might rain Wind in the leaves Salt in our hair Cold on the breeze Biting our skin I wanna be a tree She said Bark for skin Then maybe ill Get through A day like this We sat till two We sat till three The clouds won't move So nor do we The day came up around us Morning filled the air The tide was drawing towards us I said we'd best high tail From time to time I'd close my eyes And relive what you said Both your eyes like northern stars Wishing at the sun To be different To be beautiful

long drive 02:21
You turned off the headlights And drove us in the dark Till something in the rear-view Took us by surprise Pulled in by the train tracks Sat up on the grass We'd leave when the rain came Then sat there all night You broke the silence had something to say You told me you loved me But not the same way What should I say I might just lie

about

They say “begin as you mean to go on”, which is an inherently forward thinking perspective, but I think people don’t take enough time to look back at the turn of a new year. This release, I think and hope, is the beginning of a long process of discovering what I mean to leave behind. - FhaBlo
