moonlight filtered through the trees
snow heavy on the boughs
your grip was frosty and your sleeve
had shown where you'd fallen down
you'd fallen down
I'm wondering how I could've known
without hearing the words that you brought
just know that when I played along
I got buried in snow, I got caught
I got caught
touch me again with your icy breeze
can that be all you have for me?
I'm slow to agree
blow me back and shut this door
it's sad, I've never wanted you more
it's like some cruel decree
I walk all over this frozen lake
I see all these people on skates
I may look cold, I may shiver
but that's not me, it's just winter
oh no, I'm not bitter
and nothing else could have made it clear
that lovely way you walk through snow
I needed you to bring me here
I guess you needed me to see and then go
well, I'll go
sidle up beside me now
don't worry about me falling down
I'm good at falling anyhow
touch me again with your icy breeze
can that be all you have for me
I'm slow to agree
blow me back and shut this door
it's sad I've never wanted you more
it's like some cruel decree
