While You Were Away

歌詞

While you were away You were away I made Bricks of bread Bricks to break From home grown grain Planted in rows And gathered when gold And ground by my hand stone While you were away You were away I slept past the dawn The sun would set And the sun would say This night will be long So I lit up the stars On this ceiling of ours And I wrote song for hours So your home is warm Cuz I kept warm and alive while you were gone While you were away You were away I made A charm of herbs Herbs that pray And the charm is brave It’s guarding the glass And it guarding the doors and it guarding the floor boards Through the storm through the storm The windows fought the wind And the rival oak’s broken arm But they never gave in So I’m tending the fire That built before you left It’s not gone out once So your home is warm cuz I kept warm And alive while you were gone
