Nathaniel Rateliff - Closer lyrics

When I was sick and lonely
What can admit it's cold
Well I dreamed the sun was shining
As I walked the drifts of snow
Don't let it pack on our only love you know

Wishing it was summer weather this slow pace
Come on stop crying
And wipe the ice from your face
I don't mind the freeze as long
As you're here to hold
This blanket of frost is going to melt
I know we know there's some summer breeze
Watching over you and me
In our bitter leaves, we'll be covered

We're closer now we're closer now
Than we ever been we're closer now
We're closer now than we ever been

Than we ever been where the thaw began
Can I face the wind that I'm standing in
If I had a guess, it could only get so cold
You can sleep on a bench but
Maybe you're just too old

Well in our frozen slumber
Its stillness and it's grace
And I whispered of the spring
And the warmth upon your face
When it all starts to melt
You forget of the ice and snow
When waters rise
They carry you someplace warm
I forget our colder dreams, together
And in our summer breeze, we'll recover

We're closer now we're closer now
Than we ever been we're closer now
We're closer now than we ever been
We're closer now we're closer now
Than we ever been than we ever been
