Winter Passing

It’s winter again, a white washed and frozen sky
I came to the door, eyes maladjusted from the light
But your voice rang clear

You said, “For all I thought I’d ever need
It’s hard to face the holidays without.”
Well I’ve left my last message on your machine
It’s hard to face the holidays when you’re looking for the words to say
When you’re looking for the words to say

So you’ve found a friend. You spend all your cold nights with him
But if I was there, then I’d wonder why you still wear my jacket closed
With traces of my scent

I’d say, “For all I thought I’d ever need
It’s hard to face the holidays without.”
Well I’ve left my last message on your machine
It’s hard to face the holidays when you’re looking for the words to say

So stay with me here. Nose to nose, cold enough to see as our breath
Slowly escapes and exchanges from my lungs to yours, from your mouth the mine

For all I thought I’d ever need
It’s hard to face the holidays without
Well I’ve left my last message on your machine
It’s hard to face the holidays when you’re looking for the words to say

(So stay with me here. Nose to nose, cold enough to see as our breath)
When you’re looking for the words to say
When you’re looking for the words to say
(So stay with me here. Nose to nose, cold enough to see as our breath)
When you’re looking for the words to say
When you’re looking for the words to say
