Capo.: 3
C G C
Always this winter child,
Dm G7 C
December's sun sits low against the sky
Am B Am
Cold light on frozen fields,
D G
The cattle in their stable lowing.
C G C
When two walked this winter road,
Dm G7 C
Ten thousand miles seemed nothing to us then,
Am B Am
one walks with heavy tread
D G4 G
The space between their footsteps slowing
G A7
All day the snow did fall,
Dm
What's left of the day is close drawn in,
C A A7
I speak your name as if you'd answer me,
F C
But the silence of the snow is deafening
F G
How well do I recall our arguments,
C F
Our logic owed no debts or recompense,
Dm G7
Philosophy and faith were ghosts that we would chase until
C D D7 G
The gates of heaven were broken
C G
But something makes me turn, I don't know,
Cm G
To see another's footsteps there in the snow,
F Dm
I smile to myself and then I wonder why it is
G G7 C
You only cross my mind in winter
