Food goes off here these days
She feels lost so she prefers to stay
He fusses around, making sure that she's okay
Dreads the day he leaves for his final resting place
A farm that's too big with nothing to drink
Farmer that's sick, just wanting to sleep
It's too cold here in the winter,
And nothing grows here in the summer
Light the fires, please, my sweet
Let's just lay here in peace

She now drinks a cask a week
Since her memories have started to leak
She has no desire to do anything
So the days get shorter 'til the next will soon begin
They don't stay for him, they stay for her
So she doesn't wake lost and scream to be heard
It's too cold here in the winter
And nothing grows here in the summer
Light the fires, please, my sweet
Let's just lay here in peace

He has the mind and wants to live, but not the health
She'll live forever, unhappy, lost in herself
He'd move mountains to live for her
She'll resent him, until it's all just a blur
Food goes off here these days
And days never start since they've reached their age
It's too cold here in the winter
And nothing grows here in the summer
Light the fires, please, my sweet
Let's just lay here in peace
It's too cold here in the winter
And nothing grows here in the summer
Light the fires, please, my sweet
Let's just lay here in peace
It's too cold here in the winter
And nothing grows here in the summer
Light the fires, please, my sweet
Let's just lay here in peace
It's too cold here in the winter
And nothing grows here in the summer
Light the fires, please, my sweet
Let's just lay here in peace
