Testo Stay Warm

Let the water freeze on the doorstep
Keep inside all the worries in your head
Stay warm like a sweater on an old man

How do you sleep at night? I wonder
Does the tension leave your bed?
I’ve asked myself this question once or twice
But I can’t comprehend
I just want to be remembered as the staple
That held the pages together
Is this too much to ask for?

I just want to be remembered
Like the weather in the winter
So brisk, so fresh, so strong
Never loose your focus
Your sense of direction
Is this too much to ask for?

I just want to be remembered like a flood in the spring
You will find beauty in the act of drowning
You’ll loose your focus The notes, the purpose
Your sense of direction
You’ve lost your motive

Tell me
If these callused hands brushed the skin on your back
Would it make you warm and content?
Or would your spinal cord collapse?

Let the wind chimes get the spotlight
They promise to sing us a lullaby
If they ever know we’re listening
They’ll shut our eyes
Let the water freeze on the doorstep
Keep inside all the worries in your head
