Frozen North

The cat is sleeping, curled up on the bed
Nestled soft against your naked breast
And the snow is like a blanket on the earth
Pulled up snug against the window ledge

And I feel just like a child again
Safe in loving arms
Funny, I should be so warm tonight
Here in the frozen north

I left my friends in Tennessee behind
The southern nights had grown too cold for me
I came here to try to hide my emptiness
Didn't figure on your company

And I feel just like a child again
Safe in loving arms
Funny, I should be so warm tonight
Here in the frozen north

And the earth is like a jewel in the dark
It can only shine if love provides a spark
Here with you I know that I'm a part
Of a light that is reflecting to the stars

The coldest night that winter ever knew
Is warmer than the ice of loneliness
And I have known a winter of the heart
And found the summer of your gentleness

And I feel just like a child again
Safe in loving arms
Funny I should feel so warm tonight
Here in the frozen north

I didn't know that it could feel so right
Here in the frozen north
