you stoke the fire as my brush strokes the canvas
two souls burn with desire since that kiss on the campus
the last glow of the evening fades into the night
winter stars are shining and shimmering their light
as loneliness comes creepin' in.
mountains apart and the miles, they span between us
i keep you wrapped in my heart as gravity enfolds us
the november winds, now they are a-blowin'
and the river of time, it shows no sign of slowin'
then loneliness comes creepin' in.
lying here without you, this bed just feels so cold
absence makes the heart grow fonder, or so i've been told
counting down the days until we can be together
life goes by in the blink of an eye compared with forever
but for now, loneliness comes creepin' in.
