First Snow Silences

First white flakes on the brick-laid street

No one around to watch them land

My heavy coat and my frozen feet

Walking home with an empty hand (mmm-hmmm)

And the silence is kinder than your voice in my head

Kinder than all of the things that we said

The cold air clears out the room

Under this winter moon

(ahhhh) Past the diner with the darkened sign

The quiet houses in a

row

For the very first time in a long-gone line

I don't mind the falling snow

And the silence is kinder than your voice in my head

Kinder than all of the things that we said

The cold air clears out the room

Under this winter moon (ahhhh)

Just the snow

Falling slow (hummmm)
