Iron & Wine
Valentine
[Verse 1]
The house can get cold when there's no one to share
The sun in the kitchen, the creak on the stairs
The pictures of friends, crooked blurs on the walls
The pot of hydrangea alone in the hall

You were a breeze idly passing me by
Dropped in my lap like a stone from the sky
When I come home now, you're waiting right there
To offer an apple, a plum, or a pear

[Chorus]
So close your eyеs, Valentine
Try to sleep some othеr time
Your burden's lying on the ground
Between our shadows now

[Verse 2]
House can get cold when there's no one to share
Weight on your conscious, not in your hair
Walk with me now and we'll seek our reward
In the simple contentment time can afford

[Chorus]
So close your eyes, Valentine
Try to sleep some other time
Your burden's lying on the ground
Between our shadows now
