Inside, You Make December

Текст песни

[Verse 1] The bakery window fogs at half past four You draw a mitten heart beside the door Salt stains bloom along your woolen shoes I save the last warm seat for you [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicks, the old pipes sigh A paper snowflake tilts nearby [Chorus] Come in, come in, the cold can wait I’ve got two mugs beside the plate Your coat can drip, your hands can thaw Stay until the windows turn blue with dawn Come in, come in, don’t say a word Let the quiet be the kind we’ve heard Outside, the whole town folds in white Inside, you make December right [Verse 2] The radiator knocks its little tune A neighbor carries groceries through the gloom We trade the news from every frozen lane Then watch the meltwater trace the pane [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicks, the old pipes sigh A paper snowflake tilts nearby [Chorus] Come in, come in, the cold can wait I’ve got two mugs beside the plate Your coat can drip, your hands can thaw Stay until the windows turn blue with dawn Come in, come in, don’t say a word Let the quiet be the kind we’ve heard Outside, the whole town folds in white Inside, you make December right [Bridge] By morning, shovels scrape the steps A bus groans past in clouds of breath You’ll leave your scarf across my chair A small bright proof that you were here [Final Chorus] Come in, come in, the cold can wait I’ve got two mugs beside the plate Your coat can drip, your hands can thaw Stay until the windows turn blue with dawn Come in, come in, don’t say a word Let the quiet be the kind we’ve heard Outside, the whole town folds in white Inside, you make December right [Outro] The bakery window clears by five You lift your cup, and winter feels alive
