We've got a long way to go[00:00:00]
Before we finish our patrol light burns off in the distance[00:00:04]
No one dares make a sound scared we might wake the snow[00:00:12]
Sleeping giants love to listen[00:00:23]
And tethered together by lines of gold[00:00:28]
Two of my brothers on patrol[00:00:36]
Our breathing keeps us in rhythm[00:00:40]
Well honey I know it's getting cold[00:00:44]
Eye on the wool cape you have wove[00:00:52]
I can smell your lavender and lipstick[00:00:56]
You would never ask me when I'm coming home[00:01:02]
You know better than to wait and watch the snow[00:01:12]
While the other wives and mothers pray and count their rosaries[00:01:20]
Not my lover her lipstick lavender keeps her close to me[00:01:27]
One two one two three four[00:01:36]
Hold me close as the hour escapes[00:01:41]
Sunlight running on the mountain's ravenous face[00:02:01]
The moon came too soon and it'll stay out too late[00:02:05]
And I can feel that goddamn bell before they ring it[00:02:09]
Gold heats in your hair promptly at four pm[00:02:13]
Then cool to amber as the sun sets again[00:02:17]
The light through the blinds paints patterns on skin[00:02:21]
Your head dovetails so nicely on my chest where you laid it[00:02:25]
When I'm out in the shop faced to the forge[00:02:29]
I think of you my love as I tend to the coals[00:02:33]
Smiths with flames high in their eyes are all for show[00:02:37]
Dreaming lying to themselves that they've bridled hades[00:02:41]
A fire's that's good take patience control[00:02:45]
Even bellow breathing this work is painfully slow[00:02:49]
But you must hold on because you'll taste the reward[00:02:53]
When that white iron draws out just like it was painted[00:02:57]
I know you know this but I tell you this time[00:03:01]
Because I need to say it out loud to feel right[00:03:05]
You listen to me whisper it[00:03:09]
My lips graze you ear with every line[00:03:12]
And you memorize every word just as I say it[00:03:13]
Press into me leave marks in my side[00:03:17]
And I promise to pull you in until my knuckles go white[00:03:21]
You're breathing with me now as the sun slips[00:03:25]
Behind the mountain ridge to the west[00:03:28]
And the day is finished[00:03:31]
