lyrics

Where are you my daughter; where are you my son?
This house feels so empty when our time is done
Not that I get lonely, no I like to be alone
Still I worry for your hearts when you’re not home

Winter’s got his coat off, nights are getting long
I keep the home fire burning, I keep the porch light on
Precious independence, ascending grace
How can I warn you about the lies you face?

Because I have been betrayed by the ones I trust
It’s so much worse, them thinking themselves just
I knew I had to run away, I lost my faith along the way
and burned some sturdy bridges into dust
I pray the same thing don’t become of us

They project transcendence, they talk of love and art
A beatific mask to hide the darkest heart
They come to you with presents, promises and praise
and never feel a hint of guilt, say what they want to say

I’m sitting by the wood stove, awaiting your return
I pluck the guitar softly, some new song to learn
When you’re back in my arms, I’ll hold you tight
Try to make you ready for the coming night

Because I have been betrayed by the ones I trust
It’s so much worse, them thinking themselves just
I knew I had to run away, I lost my faith along the way
and burned some sturdy bridges into dust
I pray the same thing don’t become of us

Please say the same thing won’t become of us
