Winter Echoes

Frost on the window

Breath on the glass

One cup of coffee

Going cold too fast

Cars in the distance

Drawn-out silver lines

This little apartment

Echoes in my mind

Lonely winter night

Distant city lights

All this quiet

Pressing on my chest

Lonely winter night

Heartbeat in the cold air

I’m here

I’m here

And somehow still a guest

Clock on the oven

Ticks like a dare

Your old wool sweater

Still on the chair

Street sounds are muffled

Under the snow

I talk to your shadow

Then let it go

Lonely winter night

Distant city lights

All this quiet

Pressing on my chest

Lonely winter night

Heartbeat in the cold air

I’m here

I’m here

And can’t find rest
