Warmness on the Soul

[Verse 1]
Ash on the windowsill
Coffee gone cold on the stone
Winter is biting through
Every crack in this old home
Your picture is crooked there
Dust in the frame
In my throat
Silence that used to sing
Every word that you once wrote
[Chorus]
You left this warmness on the soul
In a world built out of snow
When the dark comes taking hold
I feel you burn beneath the cold
You are the ember in my bones
The fire under all this smoke
If I stagger
If I fall
Your warmness holds my soul (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Streetlight on rusted steel
Steps echo hard on the ice
I walk where we used to run
Counting the ghosts in the night
Fear is a faithful friend
Claws on the back of my mind
Then like a hidden spark
Your laughter rushes in
Rewinds
[Chorus]
You left this warmness on the soul
In a world built out of snow
When the dark comes taking hold
I feel you burn beneath the cold
You are the ember in my bones
The fire under all this smoke
If I stagger
If I fall
Your warmness holds my soul (hey!)
[Bridge]
Let the blizzard scream
Let the shadows crawl
I have carved your name
In the core of it all
If my veins turn glass
If my courage breaks
Your memory roars
Till the mountain shakes
[Chorus]
You left this warmness on the soul
In a world built out of snow
When the dark comes taking hold
I feel you burn beneath the cold
You are the ember in my bones
The blaze behind every oath
If I die
Or if I grow old
Your warmness crowns my soul (oh-oh)
Your warmness crowns my soul
