Lyrics for Sept 19 Triple X Love! Love!

I cut down that withered peach tree Just like you asked me to. And I hacked it into pieces Set it on fire with your face in plain view At the near window where you stood Watching me split the wood I will do as I am told. I will keep away the cold. The fire pit in the snow Gave off a rich bright orange-red glow A familar scent rose up into the air And I remembered something special from a long time ago You opened up the door Stepped away from the killing floor Your footprint on the snow was fresh and new When you touched me I felt fire coming through I will do as I am told. I will keep away the cold. I will do as I am told. I will keep away the cold.
