c’est l’hiver entre les douces lueurs nordiques
perchée sur les épaules de ce grand voilier
la fumée de la cheminée se mêle à celle qui se forme devant ma bouche quand je respire
tu viens de pointer le bout de ton nez pour vérifier que tout va bien
et tu m’a proposé ton manteau, à porter par dessus mon vieux pull
i guess
i must
have been feeling pretty cold
less than five minutes ago
but skin
and brains
are what they are and i
forgot what cold feels like
& i’m feeling so good it’s like i could stay here forever
nevermind the snow
nevermind the cold
warmth is in people’s hearts and eyes
up here
and when the sun is up
it shines so completely
on everyone’s face
i’ve never felt more at home
eyes hooked on
the horizon
it looks like i’m contemplating
but ego
and brains
are what they are and i
i’m concentrating
hard on
where the sweater ends
and where the coat begins
but i don’t have a clue
cause skin don’t reach out there
& i’m feeling so good it’s like i could stay like this forever
nevermind the snow
nevermind the cold
warmth is in people’s hearts and eyes
up here
and when the sun is up
it shines so completely
on everyone’s face
i’ve never felt more at home
haven’t had enough of it
but i’ve got to deal with it
the time’s gotta come
but don’t you worry i’ll be back
don’t you worry i’ll be back
my sweet, sweet citylights
i'll be back
