The north went cold too soon
Child left alone in the room
Wish to reach back through time
And take your pain for my own
Pull the curtains tight
To keep light far away
Lost the door and key
Now nothing is left to see
Wrote a song to ward off cold air
A past we could not spare
Felt warm right before winter came
I wish peace for you to claim
In the snow where paths divide
Leaving nowhere left to hide
Rain falls on the glass
Dark days will pass
A road stretching far out of view
I take the cold ice for you
Pull the curtains tight
To keep light far away
Lost the door and key
Now nothing is left to see
Wrote a song to ward off cold air
A past we could not spare
Felt warm right before winter came
I wish peace for you to claim
In the snow where paths divide
Leaving nowhere left to hide
Waking up from a dream
Drowned deep in the stream
Tears soak the pillow on the bed
How to heal words that you said
August came March stayed dead
I turn and walk off instead
Wrote a song to ward off cold air
A past we could not spare
Felt warm right before winter came
I wish peace for you to claim
In the snow where paths divide
Leaving nowhere left to hide
Leaving nowhere left to hide
