The road tonight is cold with ice And no cars pass by Thank god for no phone calls 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 the bride Tonight let's stay inside I could play guitar I've got so many songs That you've 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'll stay inside Tonight I'll stay inside I could play guitar
