Dm7
A joy, hard learned in winter was the warming of the bed

Wrap the blanket over you and keep your head within
F
Let your breath heat the air until you’d feel it getting thin
Dm7
'Uiscefhuaraithe'

..The feel of coldness only water brings
E
There are some things that no one teaches you, love
Am Gm7 F
That come natural as a dream you didn’t know that you were in
C
And darlin', all my dreamin' is only put to shame
Em F Fm Am E Am G/B C
And darlin', all my dreamin' has only been given a name
Dm7
But it came easy, darlin'
G F C
As natural as another leg around you in the bed frame

That the river of my arms have found the ocean
