The winter wind howls loud outside
My draughty room is chill
But deep inside I’m warm as toast
For you are with me still.
The cold bare branch of winter taps
Upon my window pane,
Now when your love comes tapping too
My heart is wide again.
I tried to lock and bar the door
To keep cold winter out
But still it creeps in everywhere
And spreads its ice about.
I tried to lock and bar my heart
To keep the pain at bay,
But when your love comes creeping in
It melts the bars away.
So though my window’s firmly closed
My heart is open wide
And welcomes in your warmth and love
To my heart’s fireside.
