Soon It Will Be Cold Enough to Build Fires Lyrics

And then I think I heard her say…
And then I think I heard her say…
And then I think I heard her say…
And then I think I heard her say…
And then I think I heard her say…
That she wants to get away
From the people and the cold weather
So I told her to pick a day
She said “We can leave now” so it seemed like give or take.
Instigating that I would see how to liberate
I just wanna put our hands close and the little things
Watching all the snow fall staring at the window pane.
But I don’t wanna go far from the mountain.
Now she’s thinking to herself I’m gonna go without him.
The door is left open and her voice won’t reverberate

Can’t even remember the laaaast time that I heard her say
And I think she used to say…
And I think she used to say…
And I think she used to say…
That she wants to get away
From the people and the cold weather
But I never appreciated
What she did for me.
Though I knew she couldn’t stay
Should’ve met her at the train
Now I never hear her say
Now I never hear her say…
No I never her say
That she’s gonna miss the world.
Now I understand why she can’t be heard
Cause I miss the girl.
And I miss her words.
My vision’s blurred, and I know it’s absurd
How I miss the girl
I should’ve made the effort to tell her
That I would write a letter
Regretting that I never followed beside her
Or swallowed my pride till it burns
And now it hurts deep inside
Till I hear her cry
And I hope to hear her cry…
And I hope to hear her cry…
When she will walk through that door
I will talk to the girl, but I think I would refer
To the fact
that instead of leaving I thought she’d prefer love
But I gotta letter from a place I’ve never heard of.
Tracing all the words with my finger gone numb
From the icy wind that keeps beating on the drums
Says she’s never coming back and that I will admire
But soon it will be could enough to build another fire.
