A Cold Night Close to the End - Said The Whale

Be sure to be quiet in the middle of the night

When the dogs are asleep and the wind is high

Grab your things and wait by the window

I’ll meet you by your window

And we’ll make no tracks in the snow

We’ll follow the lakes to where the cold north wind will

Cover for us both

So we can hide

And if we survive

The cold and the night in the dead of winter

We’ll watch the sun rise on the ice together

And if we are to die tonight

In your arms I would lay, and it never felt better

And at least we will leave here together

In the still of the night

My bare hands, your pale skin

Reflected in the moonlight

And we pray and we pray

To the wind

And your hands in my hands

As soft as the sunlight when the day begins

And as cold as the night blows in

And if we are to die, tonight

I’ll pray with my heart that you’ll love me forever

And at least we will leave here together
