In the shadowed stillness
In the glow of firelight
I sit beside the window
On a quiet winter's night

Snowflakes fall in silence
On rooftops layered white
The wind's a soft-sung lullaby
In the quiet of the night

With the tang of woodsmoke in the air
I trace your name on frosted glass
Looking out on ice and pine
As the quiet moments pass

Midnight in the mountains
Where the soft wind sighs
Woodsmoke rises through the trees
Toward the snow-filled skies

You're out beyond those snowy peaks
And in the firelight glow
The memories you left behind
Are covered by the snow

The firelight dances on the walls
Like your ghost upon the stone
Outside, the pines stand sentinel
For a heart that's left alone

Midnight in the mountains
A cabin in the trees
Woodsmoke rising through the pines
Fades like memories

Darkness holds the whole world still
The crackling fire the only sound
Content in the warm of a quiet home
And the mountains all around

The seasons turn like pages
In a book I never close
I read you in the silence
Of the winter snows

Sound would clutter the stillness
Where silence speaks to the heart
Two souls at peace together
In worlds so far apart

The embers glow as sleep draws near
Through the clouds the stars appear
