This is the wind calling, inviting me out
Knocking against my window
Whispering "play with me please, please"
And glittering flakes falling from heavy white clouds
All that was gray turns white again and sets my mind at ease

I don't dare leaving the house tonight
And I don't care what you say; I will stay inside
I don't dare leaving the house tonight
And I don't care what you say, it is safer inside

None of my friends calling to ask what I do
I could answer I'm crossing their names
Off the list in my heart
I spent most of the days scrawling weepy letters to you
Only to grab the paper and tear it apart

And I don't dare leaving the house tonight
And I don't care what you say; I will stay inside
I don't dare leaving the house this week
And I don't care what you offer, it's not what I seek

This is the wind blowing the tiles off of my roof
Howling: "you can't hide in there forever, my dear..."
I crawl under the bed, knowing I can't,
Yet unable to move:
"listen, wind, it's oh, so warm and safe in here!"

And I don't dare leaving the house tonight
And I don't care what you say; I will stay inside
I don't plan on leaving the house this year
And if by then you still remember me, you'll find me here

I don't plan on leaving the house this year
And if by then you still remember me, you'll find me here
