[Verse 1: Male]
You left your wool scarf on the kitchen chair
Snow feathered the window while I fixed your tea
You laughed at the frost caught in my hair
And said the cold was easier with me

[Verse 2: Female]
Your gloves were drying beside the stove
I traced your name through the windowpane
You found the little blue button I sewed
And tucked it away like a summer day

[Chorus: Duet]
When winter gathers round the door
And every road is silver white
I’ll keep a place beside me warm
You’ll be my home through every night
If the thaw takes all the snow away
Let it find us hand in hand
Love, we’ll make a spring from what we have
And meet each season as we stand

[Verse 3: Male]
The old clock stumbled past half past two
Your sleepy smile turned the room to gold
I watched the snow settle soft on your shoes
And wished the year would take its time to unfold

[Verse 4: Female]
The morning came pale through the curtain seam
Your shoulder was close, your breathing slow
I held that quiet like a favorite dream
While frost drew gardens below

[Chorus: Duet]
When winter gathers round the door
And every road is silver white
I’ll keep a place beside me warm
You’ll be my home through every night
If the thaw takes all the snow away
Let it find us hand in hand
Love, we’ll make a spring from what we have
And meet each season as we stand

[Bridge: Duet]
And if the wind turns hard again
If the long dark comes to stay
We’ll share one coat, we’ll take the path
And give the cold no final say

[Final Chorus: Duet]
When winter gathers round the door
And every road is silver white
I’ll keep a place beside me warm
You’ll be my home through every night
If the thaw takes all the snow away
Let it find us hand in hand
Love, we’ll make a spring from what we have
And meet each season as we stand

[Outro: Duet]
As we stand
Hand in hand
