Home is where my brother used to say:
„This is the one I feel so fine
and I always wanted to share this place
and you are a friend of mine“.

I feel the cold, I touch the snow.
I didn’t come home on time.
Never before I walked so slow
with this new friend in my mind.

Stay with me longer than winter.
Keep close here, we’ll make it allright.
I wrote a song that may linger
until the spring time here arrives.

I take a walk to my sisters house
and follow the path behind.
Carving letters in the bark of a tree:
„Yes, you are a friend of mine“.

I take a breath, I smell the air.
I feel embraced by what I did find.
I send a postcard to my family:
„Wish you were here for Christmas time“

Stay with me longer than winter.
Keep close here, we’ll make it allright.
I wrote a song that may linger
until the spring time here arrives.

So I go down to Prince Street Café
and I’ll have a soup and a glass of wine.
And all I’m thinking of on the way
is your lovely words and my jealous kind.

I wear the gloves my grandpa gave me
and I have your words in my mind.
I wish I ever had replied by saying:
„You are a friend of mine“.

Stay with me longer than winter.
Keep close here, we’ll make it allright.
I wrote a song that may linger
until the spring time here arrives.
