(hmmmm) Stepping out
where the snow
starts to fall
No rush in the air,
no hurry at all
Soft footsteps
on a silent floor
Winter is waiting
right outside the door
And you keep blowing
when the light goes low
A quiet kind of love
beneath the snow
Unbreakable,
yet soft and deep
A gentle promise
that we keep (hmmmm)
Sitting by a window
watching winter come
Safe inside
while the world goes numb
You give your warmth
without keeping score
Flowing like water
beneath the ice floor
Like breath in the cold air
rising slow
We settle back down
where the wild winds blow
Aching familiar,
a comforting grace
Finding our strength in this quiet place
Soft and quiet again
Like snow
settling down (hmmmm)
