Hot Summer, Cold Winter

The sun was kissing my skin when you left me here

Not December when it's calling and you're nowhere near

I keep your name in my mouth like a prayer at night

Waiting on your shadow to come back in my sight

There goes all your wine, but my heart still stays

Counting every hour in these long, slow days

Hot summer, cold winter

I'm missing you more

Patiently waiting

By the same front door

Hot summer, cold winter, where did you go?

Might have a comeback before I freeze in the glow

Tribal drums in my chest when the silence falls

I trace your last goodbye when the bedroom rolls

Lucid in the moonlight, I see your face

And the whole wide world feels like an empty place

Labours on your mind, but my heart still stays

Counting every hour in these long slow days

Hot summer, cold winter

I'm missing you more

Passionately waiting by the same front door

Hot summer, cold winter, where did you go?

Might never come back before I freeze in the glow

If love is a journey, then take me with you

I'll hold this longing until skies turn blue

From the heat to the frost, I'll still remain

Calling out softly through the breeze and rain

Hot summer, cold winter

I'm missing you more

Patiently waiting by the same front door

Hot summer, cold winter, gon' stay away

Never come back home before the night turns gray
