Settle down with me to grow old,
our blanket skins will fall like snow,
but now you're with someone I know
and I can't see your face anymore.
Throw your smile in the fire,
take the long way home.
The winter sky in your eyes
takes me by surprise.
We used to burn the night with our headlights,
and now we settle down in small towns.
I used to see your face sometimes
but now your eastern eyes are so cold.
Just throw your smile in the fire,
take the long way home.
The winter sky in your eyes
still takes me by surprise.
