Nathaniel Rateliff Closer
When I was sick and lonely
What can admit it's cold
Well I dreamed the sun was shining
As I walked the drifts of snow
Don't let it pack on our only love you know
Wishing it was summer
Weather this slow pace
Come on stop crying
And wipe the ice from your face
I don't mind the freeze as long as you're here to hold
This blanket of frost is going to melt, I know
We know there's some summer breeze
Watching over you and me
In our bitter leaves, we'll be covered
We're closer now
We're closer now
Than we ever been
We're closer now
We're closer now
Than we ever been
Than we ever been
Where the thaw began
Can I face the wind
That I'm standing in
If I had a guess, it could only get so cold
You can sleep on a bench but maybe you're just too old
Well in our frozen slumber
Its stillness and its grace
And I whispered of the spring
And the warmth upon your face
When it all starts to melt
You forget of the ice and snow
When waters rise, they carry you someplace warm
I forget our colder dreams, together
And in our summer breeze, we'll recover
We're closer now
We're closer now
Than we ever been
We're closer now
We're closer now
Than we ever been
We're closer now
We're closer now
Than we ever been
Than we ever been
