Thaw

I crawl out of bed.

Put on my armour.

The world nips at my hands

As I step out the door.

 

The walls are built up

And I can't see straight.

I've seen further ahead 

In the dead of night.

 

I just want to go home.

I just want to go home.

But nothing's there.

The warmth does nothing for me anymore.

 

Every sign's blank.

Every shop's closed.

The watchdogs are out.

The path's full of holes.

 

I should have left sooner.

I should have prepared.

Even so, nothing could have braced me

For those icy cold stares.

 

I just want to go home.

I just want to go home.

But nothing's there.

The warmth does nothing for me anymore.

 

I finally crumple to the ground

Worn out and broken and dead.

When a hand reaches through the obscurity

And picks me up off

My feet of lead.

 

Her candle-light eyes

Shine through the haze.

As our hearts draw closer

We're both warmed by the blaze.

 

I don't need to go home.

I don't need to go home.

My hearth's right here.

My heart's alright here.

 

I don't need to go home.

I don't need to go home.

My heart's alright here.

My hearth's right here.
