Do you remember the year when we
Walked through snow to search for christmas?
You kept saying that the lights would be

Round the corner soon

Out into the half light of winter gloom

Trees seemed scared by their own branches
All the living things in the forest knew
We had lost our minds


Oh - you're colder than you know
So let me be your light for the way home


Do you remember the things we saw?
As the path grew slowly smaller

All overgrown with the angry thorns
That tried to pierce our skin


Then out of nowhere the ocean rose
Up before us vast and restless
Suddenly we knew that we had to go

We had to cross the sea

Oh - you're colder than you know

So let me be your light for the way home

I saw the lights come on

From miles away they shone
But they were the lights from home
Shining back across the sea.
