Further North

The road tonight is cold with ice
 And no cars pass by
 Thank god for no phone calls
 Just snow and a fire
 December endings and since you sent me things
 I just feel further north
 This year took ten years to
 Tell me that I'm alone again
 Everything here's about to break
 I'm one inch from more than I can take
 And it's beautiful and sad but it's all that I have
 So tonight let's stay inside
 I'll be the husband with a book for the bride
 Tonight let's stay inside
 I could play guitar
 I've got so many songs
 That you've never heard, and they weren't about you
 And I won't change a word just because you're gone
 The trees creak with their arthritic arms
 Brittle in their powdered bark
 Blue moonlight, I can't cry right
 But I miss you tonight
 Everything here's about to break
 I'm one inch from more than I can take
 And it's beautiful and sad but it's all that I have
 So tonight I'll stay inside
 There are things that I'd like to try with you but
 I'll stay inside
 Tonight I'll stay inside
 I could play guitar
