Citadel Songtext
von Levi Weaver

She pulls the blankets from my head
Climbs beneath and steals my breath
And we lay silent in the heavy Nashville air
We′re in a room inside a house
Inside a city in the South
And I guess it's about as home as anywhere

Ooh, but her breathing sounds like the rain
Ooh, and I don′t know how to be brave

To be her citadel
A castle she can run to when she's overwhelmed
A coat to keep her warm in winter's colder spells


I pack my gear and say goodbye
Slowly pull out of the drive
To sing these songs about the lives that people wear
I hear her whisper in my phone
And I hang up and sleep alone
This used to be about as home as anywhere

Ooh, but I don′t know now ′cause it's pain
Ooh, but I don′t know how to be brave

To be her citadel
A castle she can run to when she's overwhelmed
A coat to keep her warm in winter′s colder spells

Without her, I'm a poem with no words
I need her like the doubt needs reassured
Like the earth without the rain begins to burn

She′s my citadel
A castle I can run to when I'm overwhelmed
A coat to keep me warm in winter's colder spells
