[Verse]
We woke around 3 A.M
Got up and we got dressed again
I said, "I'd like to walk you home
And stop for coffee"
And we set about
Collecting up your scattered things
Your coat, your hat, your scarf and rings
Two books, your sisters' necklace and the key
That I'd had made for you
Down at the hardware store
As a gift, that I'd given you for
No particular occasion
Nothing special, just a gesture
Of my feelings and we wound on down
The creaking stairs were very loud
And you dragged your outstretched fingers
Down the walls and all the windows
And I went first and held the door
It was colder that night than the nights before
That kind of cold that steals your breath
Before you expect it
We woke around 3 A.M
Got up and we got dressed again
I said, "I'd like to walk you home
And stop for coffee"
And we set about
Collecting up your scattered things
Your coat, your hat, your scarf and rings
Two books, your sisters' necklace and the key
That I'd had made for you
Down at the hardware store
As a gift, that I'd given you for
No particular occasion
Nothing special, just a gesture
Of my feelings and we wound on down
The creaking stairs were very loud
And you dragged your outstretched fingers
Down the walls and all the windows
And I went first and held the door
It was colder that night than the nights before
That kind of cold that steals your breath
Before you expect it
