"Valentine" lyrics

The house can get cold
When there's no one to share
The sun in the kitchen
The creak on the stairs
The pictures of friends
Crooked blurs on the walls
The pot of hydrangea
Alone in the hall

You were a breeze idly passing me by
Dropped in my lap like a stone from the sky
When I come home now you're waiting right there
To offer an apple, a plum or a pear

So close your eyes valentine
Try to sleep some other time
Your burden's lying on the ground
Between our shadows now

House can get cold
When there's no one to share
Weight on your conscious
Not in your hair

Walk with me now and
We'll seek our reward
In the simple contentment
Time can afford

So close your eyes valentine
Try to sleep some other time
Your burden's lying on the ground
Between our shadows now
