enjoy the snow (january 10, 2011)

well i guess if i wanted, i could be there by dinner

but the roads to you are treacherous, they say

well you know if you wanted, you could drive me mad

but i can’t have nightmares during the day

i’ve flown south for the winter

praying that you’re getting better

i never wanted to leave you, you know

my darling, enjoy the snow

it seems i think of you constantly

though i’ve spent years far from your side

anything seems able to make me wish you were here

but our love melted with the snow as i cried

i’ve flown south for the winter

praying that you’re getting better

you don’t have to be angry now, you know

my darling, enjoy the snow

i imagine you

in snow-covered boots

tossing snowballs around the yard

i close my eyes

and see your face

red cheeks and a smile so warm

oh, i’m here, i’ve flown south for the winter

far enough from you for you to get better

please don’t be angry anymore

oh, i’m here, i’ve flown south for the winter

because i stopped feeling safe in your arms

i never wanted to leave you, you know

my darling, enjoy the snow
