When dark comes near
It presses up on all the windows
Making all the surfaces feel cold
It lays a blanket over all
The neighbours in the neighbourhood
It keeps itself in shape
It shapes the snow
So we're barricading all the doors
We nap upon the heated floors
Nothing comes between us but warm air
And as we're drifting into dreams
The cold is seeping through the seams
Of the quilted quilt we have to share
And we dream (we dream)
Of the rivers and streams
That we've sailed
With a crew of three
And we soar (we soar)
Over valleys and moors
That have never been seen before
'Cept for us
When dark comes near
It presses up on all the windows
Making all the surfaces feel cold
It lays a blanket over all
The neighbours in the neighbourhood
It keeps itself in shape
It shapes the snow
So we swallow tea to keep us warm
And then watch as the tea leaves form
A symbol meaning we'll be friends for good
Outside the trees bare naked branches
Flit about in fretting dances
In unison all across the neighbourhood
So we swallow tea to keep us warm
And then watch as the tea leaves form
A symbol meaning we'll be friends for good
Outside the trees bare naked branches
Flit about in fretting dances
In unison all across the neighbourhood
So we swallow tea to keep us warm
And then watch as the tea leaves form
A symbol meaning we'll be friends for good
Outside the trees bare naked branches
Flit about in fretting dances
In unison all across the neighbourhood
Outside the trees bare naked branches
Flit about in fretting dances
In unison all across the neighbourhood
And we dream (we dream)
Of the rivers and streams
That we've sailed
With a crew of three
And we soar (we soar)
Over valleys and moors
That have never been seen before
