Tell the stars to shine upon our heads To keep us save and sound Days upon the Earth we fall behind. Tell the wind to blow somewhere else To make mean fires grow somewhere else To let us both get cold somewhere else To keep us safe from harm. 'Cause all the time I've tried you've held me down And oh the wind has blown sweet through my bones And oh this winter's killed to many times So let me be this time Let me find peace of mind (bis) Tell our feet to walk by each other's side for a while On a distance safely mile by mile Slowing down to never leave behind
