Текст песни: Hold Me Close + перевод

This hot day suddenly turned so cold

In its gusts I am enveloped

In my pocket I have these photographs

That have never been developed

I picked the last ripe fruit yesterday

My boss said, «Well, you’ll be on your way.»

But I didn’t save enough to

Get back to California yet

And when the cold wind tugs my shoulder

Tries to pull me where it hides

I see you standing over all the summer

Flowers that have died

Take me in, hold me close

Winter’s coming like a ghost

That I can see on the horizon

Stealing the green from all the trees

And myself, I feel me stripped

Bare and empty like the wind

And you can clothe me in nothing but your love

If you want to try it out

San Diego winter’s just a cooler shade of summer

You have to go

Up to the mountains for a flake of snow

Failing life and failing love

I left there fleeing pictures of

A world I was too familiar with to know

And I met you by a maple tree

Out by the railroad tracks

And I cherish all your kisses

And your hands upon my back

Take me in, hold me close

Winter’s coming like a ghost

That I can see on the horizon

Stealing the green from all the trees

And myself, I feel me stripped

Bare and empty like the wind

And you can clothe me in nothing but your love

If you want to try it out

And I am ragged, I am just a dusty traveler

Can you polish off this rough and quarried

Stone that is my heart?

I will do the same for you

We’ll make it through this winter

Even if it is the coldest one on these newspapers' charts

I’ll take you in, hold you close

I know the thing you fear the most

Is getting stranded, being covered by the ever growing snow

I’ll keep you warm 'til the spring

When the world wakes up again

I’ll take you in, leaves are falling

I’ll hold you close, snow is coming

I’ll take you in

And you can clothe me in nothing but your love
