Where the White Bells Ring

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Female] Snow settles softly on the garden gate, A silver key lies where the roses wait. I hear your footstep cross the frozen ground, Though every path has vanished without sound. [Verse 2: Male] The clock in the tower has forgotten noon, A fox keeps watch beneath the paper moon. I carried your ribbon through the winter trees, Still warm from the room where you used to sleep. [Pre-Chorus: Female and Male] If this is only a dream, stay near, The farther I wander, the more you appear. [Chorus: Duet] Come through the snow, come through the blue, The old door opens when I call for you. Beyond the pines, where the white bells ring, We’ll find the morning folded under winter’s wing. [Verse 3: Female] The river wears a necklace made of ice, Your name moves underneath it, clear and bright. I touch the glass; the whole world turns to spring, Then slips away before I feel a thing. [Bridge: Male] I kept one small candle beside the stair, For all the long years you weren’t there. [Bridge: Female] I followed its trembling, tender flame, And crossed the snow to speak your name. [Final Chorus: Duet] Come through the snow, come through the blue, The old door opens when I call for you. Beyond the pines, where the white bells ring, We’ll find the morning folded under winter’s wing. [Outro: Choir and Duet] Where the white bells ring, where the white bells ring, We’ll find the morning under winter’s wing.
