Undertow

Curtains are drawn
Now the fire warms the roomMeanwhile outside
Wind from the north-east chills the air
It will soon be snowing out thereAnd some, there are cold
They prepare for a sleepless night
Maybe, this will be their last fightBut we're safe in each other's embrace
All fears go as I look on your faceBetter think awhile
Or I may never think again
If this were the last day of your life, my friend
Tell me, what do you think you would do then?Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you
Make the most of all, you still have coming to you
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your kneesLet me live again, let life come find me wanting
Spring must strike again against the shield of winter
Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me
Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast againLaughter, music and perfume linger here
And there, and there
Wine flows from flask to glass and mouths
As it soothes, confusing our doubtsAnd soon we feel
Why do a single thing today
There's tomorrow sure as I'm hereSo the days, they turn into years
And still no tomorrow appearsBetter think awhile
Or I may never think again
If this were the last day of your life, my friend
Tell me, what do you think you would do thenStand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you
Make the most of all, you still have coming to you
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your kneesLet me live again, let life come find me wanting
Spring must strike again against the shield of winter
Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me
Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again
