Twenty-one in the bleak of winter You keep me warm when I'm freezing cold My calloused heart didn't feel so bitter I felt it change as I held you close I'm on the road missing milestones Counting the days 'til I'm coming home No don't forget me when I'm gone The single greatest thing I've done A quiet song that I could sing to keep you calm I'll never leave you when you're alone So take me in the afterglow You make me feel like my soul isn't crooked Like I could fix everything gone wrong Your destiny is to have all I couldn't And you're the light that is breaking dawn I'm on the road missing milestones Counting the days 'til I'm coming home No matter how far you may run You're still the greatest thing I've done A quiet song that I could sing to keep you calm I'll never leave you when you're alone I'll hold on forever A quiet song that I could sing to keep you calm I'll never leave you when you're alone So take me in the afterglow I'm on the road missing milestones Counting the days 'til I'm coming home You are the light that is breaking dawn So don't forget me when I'm gone A quiet song that I could sing to keep you calm I'll never leave you when you're alone So take me in the afterglow
