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
