and I lay in your shadow
The back side of your face a wall
that does not break and will not fallIt's frozen in sunlight and covered in frost
You're colder than ice but without you I'm lost
Your back is warm against my skin
as I lay in your shadow
My lips are numb my heart's on fire
and I burn without your aloe
I'm in flames but I'm afraid to show
because you're colder than the heat of the snow
Drifting in sleep like the drifts of the snow
as I lay within your shadow
I feel you breath through the sheets in our bed
I hear your sighs like a song in my head
I long for the dawn but don't want you to go
You're the taste of the sunrise and the heat off the snow.
