Covered in soot
And smelling like the fire
You would still hold me close
Fixing the tares
Mending our only attire
You bring the songbirds
Not the crows
I watch you from the door
Captivated frozen still
An orange glow hits the wall
From the candle that you lit
I can always count on you
I'm at my best with you
I can never give what you gave
I wish I could repay you
When I am down
Feeling cold and numb
You lift me up
And bring me to life
When I wake up
You are sleeping there
The comfort of you by my side
Everyone wants to be somebody
And with you I'm someone
Everyone wants to be somebody
And with you I'm someone
I can always count on you
I'm at my best with you
I can never give what you gave
I wish I could repay you
