Pour Two Glasses

(album: Cities In Search of a Heart - 2017)

You were so down yesterday.
You were never one for winter, relentlessly gray.
So pour two glasses
And leave the light in the driveway on.
I need to feel your trembling lips on my neck.

I'll never leave you alone again
To stare this dreadful world
In its cold dark eyes again.
Life can be such a ruse.
I'm not coming home for Christmas,
I'm coming home for you.

Stack your troubles on my shoulders
And take a deep breath. Don't choke on your freedom.
Those cold lonely mornings
They aren't yours anymore.
I think I can already see the fire in your eyes.

I'll never leave you alone again
To stare this dreadful world
In its cold dark eyes again.
Life can be such a ruse.
I'm not coming home for Christmas,
I'm coming home for you.

Coming home for you.
I'm coming home for you.
