about
This is the oldest song on the record - I wrote it about 20 years ago - in a different life, a different person. I've always been drawn to it though and in all of those years I never heard it with drums. When I asked Joel to do his thing, the song became new again. He breathed a totally new life into it and it was as if we'd just wrote it. I like to think it's matured over time, but the lyrics are the same, word for word, that I wrote as a 20-something year old.
lyrics
dogfight
in winter
snow fort
made of snow
dreamless in December
waking up in your arms
just looking out my front window
I can see the clouds
above you
I don't want to be
alone
I can't be
alone
will you be my
home
just for tonight
snowfall in summer
I am made believer
a dedicated fuck up
waking up alone
just looking out the car window
hoping to find you
I don't want to be
alone
I can't be
alone
will you be my
home
just for tonight
