I would like to feel the warmth again before I die
To feel the warmth enter my bones
I would like to see your face again just one more time
Just once again before I'm home
No one said that it'd be easy
I didn't think that it would take me this long
But I was a clown
And you were taking me around
To feel the warmth press against my cold weary back
To feel to cold enter my spine
To freeze my heart and where my stomach is
That's where my thoughts are all combined
