Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand
And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red
When the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me
I'll be your homing angel I'll be in your head.

Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in
   and there's heat beneath your winter let me in

I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb.
And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin
Please tread gently on the ground when all around you earth turns to fire.
Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind.

Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in
   and it's silent in your stone field let me in

Must be lucky weather when you find the kind of wind that you need
C'mon show me all the light and shade that made your name
I know you've got it in your head I've seen that look before
You've built your refuge turns you captive all the same

Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in
   and it's barren in your garden let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in

(Because it's silent in your stone field let me in  )
(   and you're lonely in your nightmare let me in   )
(Because you've waited through the ice age let me in)

Because you're so lonely in your nightmare let me in
   and it's cold out on your stone range let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in
