A Cold Night Close to the End

Be sure to be quiet in the middle of the night

When the dogs are asleep and the wind is high

Grab your things and wait by the window

I'll meet you by your window

And we'll make no tracks in the snow

We'll follow the lake to where the cold north wind

Will cover for us both, so we can hide

And if we survive the cold and the night

In the dead of winter

We'll watch the sunrise on the ice together

If we are to die tonight

In your arms I would lay and it never felt better

And at least we will leave here together

In the still of the night

My bare hands, your pale skin

Reflected in the moonlight

We prayed and we prayed to the wind

Your hands in my hands

As soft as the sunlight when the day begins

And as cold as the night blows in

And if we are to die tonight

I pray with my heart that you'll love me forever

And at least we will leave here together
