No sun to be found up overhead
Wind is howling like the dead
And the moon shines down like ghastly bones

Laughing cuz we're far from home
Our voices whisper from the dark
Steal the hope, thin our hearts

Stay close, my love, my love
Stay close, stay close, my love
My love, stay close, stay close

Hold my hand tightly, dear
To fight against the numbing fear
Stay by me, my only one

Pray for morning's light [bad word] Stay by me, love, and make no sound
While hateful snow [bad word] down
Down, down, down, down

Stay close, my love, my love
Stay close, stay close, my love
My love, stay close, stay close

And I can feel death
In my shortness of breath
My heart beats like an open wound
And I begin to fear
That all we will hear
is "Too late"

Stay close, stay close, stay close
Mm, stay close, stay close, ooh stay close, yeah
Ooh, stay close
