[Verse 1: Male]
You left your blue wool scarf beside the door
Snow on your boots made a map across the floor
I set the kettle on; you warmed your hands
And watched the flakes collect along the land

[Verse 2: Female]
Your old green sweater smelled of cedar smoke
You laughed and fixed the button that I broke
Outside, the garden slept beneath the white
Inside, the clock forgot to count the night

[Chorus: Duet]
When winter closes every road
And frost writes silver on the pane
I’ll find your hand beneath the quilt
You’ll say my name, I’ll say yours again
The world can turn to fields of snow
Our little room will hold us through
If winter comes, let winter come
I have my home as long as I have you

[Verse 3: Male]
We made a feast from soup and yesterday’s bread
You stole the thickest blanket for your side of bed
Then shared it when the old house settled low
While moonlight lay in ribbons on the snow

[Bridge: Female]
And when the thaw runs softly down the hill
When robin songs return and windows fill
I’ll keep this quiet season close to me
Your shoulder warm, the whole world held at ease

[Final Chorus: Duet]
When winter closes every road
And frost writes silver on the pane
I’ll find your hand beneath the quilt
You’ll say my name, I’ll say yours again
The world can turn to fields of snow
Our little room will hold us through
If winter comes, let winter come
I have my home as long as I have you

[Outro: Duet]
The kettle cools, the fire burns low
Your hand in mine beneath the snow
