lyrics

Well I do declare if you don't come home soon
I'll be frozen half to death yes I'm afraid this much is true
The winter's bearing down and the air is turning cold
When the snow touches the ground will you be here to hold?
I wrote a dozen letters and received a dozen more
But the words that fill the pages ain't like you at my door
The days just get so lonesome and the house just seems so bare
I reach out in my sleep but all I'm grabbing is the air
I wrap myself in blankets pretend I'm lying here with you
But my body's getting cold cus baby
Only your arms will do

I sit out in the yard watch the flowers start to bloom
And I'm wondering where you are wondering where you're headed to
The road must get so lonesome and the drive must feel so long
All these miles in-between us babe they're doing us so wrong
Spring is in the air baby birds all start to sing
Of the wedding ring you'll bring to me and all our silly sacred things
I've wished a dozen wishes and I've felt you in my dreams
But sleeping in this heat has just been draining all my strength
Now my body's feeling weaker and I lack the will to move
I need a little help and darling
Only your arms will do
