Nathan Hawes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As you wake to the dark
You still know that I'll come home and
Well, I'll come home
With this time that we spent apart
We'll keep the small things close
These, these small things close
And you keep me warm
ohh

You keep me warm
And you keep me warm
ohh
You keep me warm
With the sand on our toes
And these hot cold oh these cold ropes (?)
But I still know that I hold onto you
With the sand on our toes
And these hot cold oh these cold ropes (?)
But I still know that I hold onto you
As you wake to the dark
You still know that I'll come home and
Well, I'll come home
As I walk along these bright city lights
I'll go, I'll go and find
and I'll go and find
And you keep me warm
ohh
You keep me warm
And you keep me warm
ohh
You keep me warm
With the sand on our toes
And these hot cold oh these cold ropes (?)
But I still know that I hold onto you
With the sand on our toes
And these hot cold oh these cold ropes (?)
But I still know that I hold onto you

With the sand on our toes
And these hot cold oh these cold ropes (?)
But I still know that I hold onto you
With the sand on our toes

And these hot cold oh these cold ropes (?)
But I still know that I hold onto you
