[Intro] D A F#m Em G A [Verse]
They Dsat at each end of the couch And F#mwatched as the fire burned down So Emquiet on this winter's night Not a Gporch light on for Amiles around
[Verse]
Then he Dsaid, "I think I'll fill the stove F#mIt's getting time for bed" EmShe looked up, "I think I'll have some wine How 'bout Gyou?" she asked, and Ahe declined
[Verse]
D"Warren," she said "Maybe just F#mfor tonight Let's Emfill the stove with birches And Gwatch as the fire Aburns bright
[Verse]
DHow long has it been? It's F#mbeen quite a while EmPour yourself half a glass and GStay with me a Alittle while"
[Verse]
And DWarren, he shook his head As if F#mshe'd made some kind of joke "EmBirches? On a winter night? GNo, we'll fill the Astove with oak"
[Verse]
"DOak will burn as long and hot As a F#mJuly afternoon EmBirch will burn Gitself out By the Arising of the moon"
[Verse]
"DAnd you hate a cold house same as me F#mAm I right or not?" "EmAll right, all right that's Gtrue" She said, "AIt was just a thought"
[Verse]
Then she said, "DWarren, you do look tired Maybe F#myou should go up to bed EmI'll take care of the wood tonight" "GOak", he told her, "AOak", she said
[Verse]
DShe listened to his footsteps As he F#mclimbed up the stairs Then she Empulled a sweater on her and GSet her wine glass Aon a chair
[Verse]
She Dwalked down the cellar to the wood-box It was F#mcold as an ice chest Then Emclimbed back up with Gfour logs Each as white as a Awedding dress
[Verse]
And she Dfilled the stove and poured the wine Then she F#msat down on the floor EmShe curled her legs beneath her GAs the fire sprang to Alife once more
[Verse]
And it Dfilled the room with it's hungry light And it F#mcracked as it drew air And the Emshadows danced a Gjittery waltz Like no one else was Athere
[Verse]
She Dstood up in the heat, and She F#mtwirled around the room And the Emshadows, they saw Gnothing But a young girl on her Ahoneymoon
[Verse]
And she Dknew the time, it would be short Soon the F#mfire would start to fade She Emthought of heat, she Gthought of time She Acalled it an even Dtrade
