While you were away, you were away
I made
Bricks of bread, bricks to break
From home-grown grain
Planted in rows
And gathered when gold
And ground by my hand stone
ย
While you were away, you were away
I slept past the dawn
The sun would set, and the sun would say
"This night will be long"
So I lit up the stars
On this ceiling of ours
And I wrote song for hours
ย
So your home is warm
'Cause I've kept it warm
And alive while you were gone
So your home is warm
'Cause I've kept it warm
And alive while you were gone
ย
While you were away, you were away
I made
A charm of herbs, herbs that pray
And the charm is brave
It's guarding the glass
And it's guarding the doors
And it's guarding the floorboards
Through the storm, through the storm
The windows fought the wind
And the rival oak's broken arm
But they never gave in
So I'm tending the fire
That you built 'fore you left
It's not gone out once
So your home is warm
'Cause I've kept it warm
And alive while you were gone
So your home is warm
'Cause I've kept it warm
And alive while you were gone
