I'll fetch the water from the well if you'll watch the burners on the stove
Light some candles as the night grows quiet,
Don't this feel like home
Don't this feel like home

Let's not go to town on Monday, no let's not return at all
'Cause they don't have a thing I can't find here and there's
Nowhere I need to go
Nowhere I need to go

Won't you come a little closer, there is nothing you should fear
Turn the pictures on the mantel, so they can't see what we do here

The wooden stairs up to the front door, with the cracks we've known so well
Will they last? You kiss my shoulder, saying
"Only time will tell,
Only time will tell."

Won't you come a little closer, there is nothing you should fear
Turn the pictures on the mantel, so they can't see what we do here
Won't you lay down with me, baby, and let me hold you tight right now
When you get that morning yearning come and fill me with your sound

I'll fetch the water from the well if you'll watch the burners on the stove
