lyrics

Out in the sun and dressed in plaid
You're beautiful as ever when you're sad
I carry these folk songs on my back
The colour's on your hair and on the grass
The snow has come and the air cut flat
You're all I want
Honey, I'll wait for you
Honey, I can wait for you

Baby hold my hands, they're black with art
Hadn't seen you nearly a week apart
I break these feelings over my guitar
I'll save your words and put em in a jar
You don't know it but you break my heart
You watch me fall
Watch the snow white out the earth
Watch the snow white out the earth

I play these songs I write for you
Guitar on my hip making me bruise
I'm down and out and feeling blue
I'm out of sleep and out of booze
I'll play until I bleed from my fingertips
Until my voice is shot
Honey, I play for you
Honey, I play this for you

Under the trees and dressed in white
You're beautiful as ever when you sigh
I carry these love songs on my mind
The colour's on your cheek and in the sky
The snow is gone and the sun cut flat
I need you now
Honey, if you'll be with me
Honey, you can sing harmony
