I don’t need much to get me through my day
I don’t want to rush and let this feeling slip away
Where I’m going to it’s so hard to tell
I feel my past is serving me well
I’ caught in a rift, the current is swift
I feel my spirit beginning to lift
On two Monday nights in the November rain
I looked in your eyes, felt the calm you sustain
Through oceans of impossible blue
I felt something entirely new
Can’t quite nail it down, just a hint of a sound
Of that melody coming around
Chorus:
Now, all that I need is a warm place to go
When the fire burns out and dark nights grow cold
A sweet simple theme rolling around in my head
A coat and a good pair of shoes
A little something to eat, fresh air to breathe
And someone to kiss on New Years Eve
In that big barroom mirror, I see you sitting next to me
I turn to look you in the eye; I see the barstool is free
These beers are going down way too smooth
I’m lost again and dreaming of you
The feelings I felt, the kiss that you dealt
And how the ice was beginning to melt
Chorus
