lyrics

Gently swaying, semi-frozen
Like a snowglobe or a dream

I’ve forgotten that there is such a thing as heat at all.
I have a memory of green, but when I see myself in photos,
Sun-kissed and sweating, it doesn’t register.

Somewhere inside this nest of clothes there is a body.
Although I haven’t seen it for months.

There’s a week in January when the flowers get confused.
They think it’s time, and then they die of frost.

(Gently swaying, semi-frozen
Like a snowglobe or a dream)

Somewhere inside my nest of sheets I find your body,
And a flask of tea, and a hot water bottle.
We have everything we need in here.

Carry us through the days which are over before they’ve even begun,
Carry us through the sleepless nights, past knocking pipes
Let not the frost or damp or monochrome get in,
Light lamps for us,
Lead us into hibernation,
Deliver us through winter.
