The Dreamer and the Sleeper - A Flurry of Red and Green

Track 4 from The Dreamer and the Sleeper's 'The Holiday Ep' (Released 2007) - A Flurry of Red and Green

Lyrics:
I think it's raining outside
these pills are flooding my mind
dilate and hibernate through the longest of nights

I wish you were here to wake me
wish you were here to shake me
drag my bones out of bed
as I'm singing

I can't take another year like this one

I climb the crickety ladder just to hang up your lights
fingers white with frost bite
in the dead of the night
I've been looking for love
but you want nothing from me
the phone rings, I took two
now I'm singing

I can't take another year like this one
December's wearing me thin
just look at me I'm skin and bones
and this cold is going to my head

If I'm the skeleton man will you be my Sally tonight?
inebriate me, penetrate me, bring my body to life
ignore the taste on my lips
it's just the Nyquil again
keeps me from dreaming, keeps me sleeping
keeps me singing

I can't take another year like this one
December's wearing me thin
and now I'm fucking skin and bones
and this cold is going to my head

If you are the red, then I'll be the green
and when you see the flurry, will you think of me?
if you bring the mountains, I'll be the snow
and if you get tired, I'll be your home
