lyrics

the wind pushes winter through the letter box
down the hall where you'd been held in a time long forgot
to the one room with a small fire a whispered lick of flame
you huddle on the sofa but the cold is to blame

sweet heart put your body away it's late and it just feels desperate

the condensation in the bathroom in which you'd written their name
half being misted makes the other half look plain
bathing together makes the hot water last
soapy bodies but no affection absolved by the task

sweet heart put your body away it's late and what we had is faded
sweet heart put your body to bed put away those thoughts in your head

now the spirits are medicinal they keep the cold from your core
but winter nights are long see empty bottles on the floor
now in the stupor of the moment adding fuel to the spark of a memory of warm bodies in the bedroom in the dark

sweet heart put your body away it's late and what we had is faded
sweet heart put your body to bed put away those thoughts in your head

now it's a shared cigarette that saves you both from talking
like your love it burned out smokey room silence hanging
from the remnants of the ashtray your eye meets their eye and like the wind through the letter box you let out a sigh
