I'll mind my mouth, in a brand new town
There's a dark thing that brought me here
In the time of year when the things you hear
Won't lay down or disappear

Damn, the winter has followed me
Waiting for softer times and greener leaves
Stay awhile with me
Warm a body that aches here in these sheets alone
Stay awhile with me
Warm a body that aches here in these sheets alone

Damn, the winter has followed me
Waiting for softer times and greener leaves
I may not find another of your kind
I hold this true
May not be a husband that's set free
I said "I do"

Stay awhile with me
Warm a body that aches here in these sheets alone
Hold a hand with no ring
It's naked and cold, in a state too shocked to be old

Stay awhile with me
Warm a body that aches here in these sheets alone
Hold a hand with no ring
It's naked and cold, in a state too shocked to be old
