Love Is Coal

And so we'll go wrapped in love before the snow

And carve our mark in nooks we've known beside the river

To feel like we own it

To feel like we fall and own it still

To gaze upon the locks we've done, closed doors on friends

That marks us out and claws our hearts to stall or start

To feel like we own it

Feel like we fall and own it still

And we'll hide ourselves through the winter

It might kill us when summer's all we've known

And we'll bear these marks as reminders

With the dirt on our clothes as you find us

We two miners and love is not like diamonds

Love is coal to keep you warm

Lightly we'll run and lessons learned by wounds still healing

We lie so still on banks we've known though miles apart

And feel like we own it

To feel like we fall and own it still

Unnoticed now we'll give no ground to things we've found

And bathed upon the heat of books we burned when certain

To feel like we own it

To feel like you fall and own it still

And we'll hide ourselves through the winter

It might kill us when summer's all we've known

And we'll bear these marks as reminders

With the dirt on our clothes as you find us

We two miners and love is not like diamonds

Love is coal to keep you warm

Love is coal to keep you

And the fire is burning and the curtain's drawn

The kids are home and love is coal
