Between the Last Snowflake

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1: Female] Snow writes its names on the windowpane The old house keeps what the years let go I found your small red ribbon again Tucked in the book where the cold winds blow [Verse 2: Male] I kept the key though the door is gone Kept one last letter beneath my coat Somewhere the clock has been turning on With all the words we could never note [Pre-Chorus: Female and Male] If you can hear me through the hush Meet me where the white branches bend We’ll walk the road we lost to winter And bring the beginning back again [Chorus: Duet] Come through the falling, silver snow Come where the sleeping gardens lie I’ll keep a place beside the fire You keep a little springtime in your eyes Though every path may disappear And every year take something dear We’ll find the door, we’ll find it there Between the last snowflake and the air [Wordless Choir] Ah—ah, ah—ah Ah—ah, ah—ah [Bridge: Male] The river remembers the stones we named The hill still holds our footprints deep [Bridge: Female] I saved the tune you hummed at dusk It wakes the bluebells from their sleep [Final Chorus: Duet] Come through the falling, silver snow Come where the sleeping gardens lie I’ll keep a place beside the fire You keep a little springtime in your eyes Though every path may disappear And every year take something dear We’ll find the door, we’ll find it there Between the last snowflake and the air [Outro: Wordless Choir] Ah—ah, ah—ah The morning waits beyond the white Ah—ah, ah—ah And somewhere, we are home tonight
