The road tonight is cold with ice, and no cars pass by Thank god for no phone call, just snow and a fire December endings and since you sent me things, I just feel further north This year took ten years to tell me that I'm alone again Everything here's about to break I'm one inch from more than I can take And it's beautiful and sad but it's all that I have So tonight, let's stay inside I'll be the husband with a book for a bride Tonight, let's stay inside I could play guitar I've got so many songs that you never heard, and they weren't about you And I won't change a word just because you're gone The trees creak with their arthritic arms Brittle in their powdered bark Blue moonlight, I can't cry right But I miss you tonight Everything here's about to break I'm one inch from more than I can take And it's beautiful and sad but it's all that I have So tonight, I'll stay inside There are things that I'd like to try with you But I stay inside Tonight, I'll stay inside I could play guitar
