Love Is Coal

And so we'll go wrapped in love before the snow
And carve our mark in nooks we've known beside the river
To feel like we own it
To feel like we fall and own it still

To gaze upon the locks we've done, closed doors on friends
That marks us out and claws our hearts to stall or start
To feel like we own it
Feel like we fall and own it still

And we'll hide ourselves through the winter
It might kill us when summer's all we've known
And we'll bear these marks as reminders
With the dirt on our clothes as you find us
We two miners and love is not like diamonds
Love is coal to keep you warm

Lightly we'll run and lessons learned by wounds still healing
We lie so still on banks we've known though miles apart
And feel like we own it
To feel like we fall and own it still

Unnoticed now we'll give no ground to things we've found
And bathed upon the heat of books we burned when certain
To feel like we own it
To feel like you fall and own it still

And we'll hide ourselves through the winter
It might kill us when summer's all we've known
And we'll bear these marks as reminders
With the dirt on our clothes as you find us
We two miners and love is not like diamonds
Love is coal to keep you warm
Love is coal to keep you
And the fire is burning and the curtain's drawn
The kids are home and love is coal
