Further North

The road tonight is cold with ice

And no cars pass by

Thank god for no phone calls

Just snow and a fire

December endings and since you sent me things

I just feel further north

This year took ten years to

Tell me that I'm alone again

Everything here's about to break

I'm one inch from more than I can take

And it's beautiful and sad but it's all that I have

So tonight let's stay inside

I'll be the husband with a book for the bride

Tonight let's stay inside

I could play guitar

I've got so many songs

That you've never heard, and they weren't about you

And I won't change a word just because you're gone

The trees creak with their arthritic arms

Brittle in their powdered bark

Blue moonlight, I can't cry right

But I miss you tonight

Everything here's about to break

I'm one inch from more than I can take

And it's beautiful and sad but it's all that I have

So tonight I'll stay inside

There are things that I'd like to try with you but

I'll stay inside

Tonight I'll stay inside

I could play guitar
