To Someone From A Warm Climate (Uiscefhuaraithe)

A joy hard learned in winter was the warming of the bed You'd shake for minutes there and move your legs Wrap the blanket over you and keep your head within Let your breath heat the air until you'd feel it getting thin Uiscefhuaraithe The feel of coldness only water brings There are some things that no one teaches you, love That come natural as a dream you didn't know that you were in And, darling, all my dreaming Is only put to shame And, darling, all my dreaming Has only been given a name But it came easy, darling As natural as another leg around you in the bed frame In summer's heat, I learned to dread the coming of the night The awful things we do to make the head go quiet You'd press your body to the concrete when you were small The rains of winter seemed to never leave the walls Uiscefhuaraithe The feel of coolness only water brings There are some things that no one teaches you, love That God in His awful wisdom just programs in But, darling, all my dreaming Is only put to shame And, darling, all my dreaming Has only been given a name But it happened easy, darling As natural as another leg around you in the bed And I wish I could say That the river of my arms have found the ocean I wish I could say the cold lake water of my heart Christ, it's boiling over But it happened easy, darling Natural as another leg around you in the bed frame --- To Someone From a Warm Climate (Uiscefhuaraithe) - Hozier
