My Shelter

I'm not a stone, I'm human
You blow, I fall
I'm not a stone, I hear you
I break like a human bone

Calm as the frost on the forest floor
I hold in every storm
But unlike the storm I don't gamble
You call, I fold

When everything is said and done
It's quiet by the fire
When we don't know where we belong
It's quiet by the fire
When everything is said and done
It's quiet by the fire
When we don't know where we belong
It's quiet by the fire

When everything is coming undone
It's quiet by the fire
When we don't know what we've become
It's quiet by the fire

Winter is no wall to lean on
It's cold and obscure
And those clouds like cotton wool carpets
Are no floor to walk on

Raise another storm, I assure you
My shelter won't be yours
And by the time you will long for me
I'll be part of the forest floor

When everything is said and done
It's quiet by the fire
When we don't know where we belong
It's quiet by the fire

When everything is coming undone
It's quiet by the fire
When we don't know what we've become
It's quiet by the fire
