When the North Wind Blows

Love is our survival when the north wind blows

When the night is crying and nobody knows

In you I find my strength

I look and see you truly

When there is nothing left to hold onto

My hand will still be there

And I know your hand will steady me

We are more than friends yet less than lovers

But whatever name we might give it

You sustain me as I support you

We two are but half shells alone

Yet together we become whole

When we are apart there is an emptiness

When we are together there is a purpose

I do not pretend to understand it

I only know what my heart and soul tells me

Love is our survival when the north wind blows
