Cold Settles

Before the cold settles in my bones

Let me see the light of day

The smile that rests upon your lips

And clear this haze away.

Before the cold settles in my bones

Let me feel the warmth of the sun

The touch of your skin on mine

The thrill of electricity through my veins.

Before the cold settles in my bones

Let me smell that sweet obsession

Floating on the breeze

And fill my lungs with fresh air.

Before the cold settles in my bones

Let me taste the salt upon your skin

The sweetness of your tongue

Remind me of when we were young.

Before the cold settles in my bones

Let me hear the raspiness of your voice

Echoing my name once more

As we find our final joys.

Before the cold settles in my bones.
