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,
To 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.

And I said, "For all I thought I'd ever need,
It's hard to face the holidays without."
Well I've left my last message in 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 to 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
(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.
(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.
