While you were away | |
You were away | |
I made | |
Bricks of bread | |
Bricks to break | |
From home grown grain | |
Planted in rows | |
And gathered when gold | |
And ground by my hand stone | |
While you were away | |
You were away | |
I slept past the dawn | |
The sun would set | |
And the sun would say | |
This night will be long | |
So I lit up the stars | |
On this ceiling of ours | |
And I wrote song for hours | |
So your home is warm | |
Cuz I kept warm and alive while you were gone | |
While you were away | |
You were away | |
I made | |
A charm of herbs | |
Herbs that pray | |
And the charm is brave | |
It’s guarding the glass | |
And it guarding the doors and it guarding the floor boards | |
Through the storm through the storm | |
The windows fought the wind | |
And the rival oak’s broken arm | |
But they never gave in | |
So I’m tending the fire | |
That built before you left | |
It’s not gone out once | |
So your home is warm cuz I kept warm | |
And alive while you were gone |
While you were away | |
You were away | |
I made | |
Bricks of bread | |
Bricks to break | |
From home grown grain | |
Planted in rows | |
And gathered when gold | |
And ground by my hand stone | |
While you were away | |
You were away | |
I slept past the dawn | |
The sun would set | |
And the sun would say | |
This night will be long | |
So I lit up the stars | |
On this ceiling of ours | |
And I wrote song for hours | |
So your home is warm | |
Cuz I kept warm and alive while you were gone | |
While you were away | |
You were away | |
I made | |
A charm of herbs | |
Herbs that pray | |
And the charm is brave | |
It' s guarding the glass | |
And it guarding the doors and it guarding the floor boards | |
Through the storm through the storm | |
The windows fought the wind | |
And the rival oak' s broken arm | |
But they never gave in | |
So I' m tending the fire | |
That built before you left | |
It' s not gone out once | |
So your home is warm cuz I kept warm | |
And alive while you were gone |
While you were away | |
You were away | |
I made | |
Bricks of bread | |
Bricks to break | |
From home grown grain | |
Planted in rows | |
And gathered when gold | |
And ground by my hand stone | |
While you were away | |
You were away | |
I slept past the dawn | |
The sun would set | |
And the sun would say | |
This night will be long | |
So I lit up the stars | |
On this ceiling of ours | |
And I wrote song for hours | |
So your home is warm | |
Cuz I kept warm and alive while you were gone | |
While you were away | |
