Snow Falls Like a Promise

[Verse 1] [soft] Your gloves are still hanging by the door Two candles burning where you used to be The window fogs, I trace your name once more And every winter carries you to me [Pre-Chorus] They said forever ended in the cold But something older whispers through the pane [Chorus] [belted] Snow falls like a promise, quiet and slow Covering the world in the words I couldn't say It won't stop for winter, won't stop for the years I'll wait beneath the falling till you find your way Snow falls like a promise — I'm still here [Verse 2] The church bells break the silence on the street I count the strangers wrapped in golden light Somewhere in the crowd I feel your heartbeat A single thread of you across the night [Pre-Chorus] The wind can steal the warmth out of my hands But not the vow I buried in the snow [Chorus] [belted] Snow falls like a promise, quiet and slow Covering the world in the words I couldn't say It won't stop for winter, won't stop for the years I'll wait beneath the falling till you find your way Snow falls like a promise — I'm still here [Bridge] [soft] And if the frost should keep me one more day If morning takes the last light from the hill [build-up] I'll leave the porch light burning through the grey Come home — the snow is falling for us still [Chorus] [loud] Snow falls like a promise, louder than fear Louder than the winters we were torn apart Let it bury doubt and let it melt the years I'll hold you like the first white in the dark Snow falls like a promise — you're still here [Outro] [whispered] Fall, fall, quiet and slow Every flake a word I still hold [fade-out] Snow falls like a promise — come home
