Stand in the fire of the wood smoke
Hands like leather, like my daddy's coat
Cricket song and night owl
Croaking in the dark to the wolf's lone howl

Embers burn with a fierceful force
The heat of your heart lights up our course
I can't be scared when you're with me
But apart we're together still, baby

Not tonight, but for always
Not tonight, but for always
By your side, for always

For every night that we spend apart
Let my home grow in your heart
A house with a Sun-soaked kitchen
The place that we both could live in

And, when the trees start to complain
Make them quieter than your pain
Send your words on the winds to me
I'll keep those secrets and make them memories

Not tonight, but for always
Not tonight, but for always
By your side, for always

For always (from the other side of the world, I'd hear you, from the other side of the world, I'd hear you)
For always (from the other side of the world, I'd hear you, from the other side of the world, I'd hear you)
Not tonight (from the other side of the world, I'd hear you)
But for always (from the other side of the world, I'd hear you)
Tonight (from the other side of the world, I'd hear you)
Not tonight (from the other side of the world, I'd hear you)
For always (from the other side of the world, I'd hear you)
