Undertow Lyrics

The curtains are drawn

Now the fire warms the room

Meanwhile outside

Wind from the north-east chills the air

It will soon be snowing out there



And some there are

Cold, they prepare for a sleepless night

Maybe this will be their last fight



But we're safe in each other's embrace

All fears go as I look on your face



Better think awhile

Or I may never think again

If this were the last day of your life, m 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 knees



Let 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



Laughter and music and perfume linger here

And there, and there

Wine flows from flask to glass and mouth

As it soothes, confusing our doubts



And soon we feel

Why do a single thing today

There's tomorrow sure as I'm here



So the days they turn into years

And, still no tomorrow appears



Better think awhile, ...
