lyrics

a morning of cautious stepping around
and she leaves and you go to the window
her trail is marked quite clear on the ground
from the still falling snow

your neighbour must have stopped her to speak
two footprints have shuffled around
he likes to keep tabs on the girl who comes home
he wonders where girls can be found

I'm walking upstairs
wishing there were someone up there
she will never be very close to me

an evening of drinks and fooling around
and you quickly dress for the theatre
she smiles and you both help me shovel my car
you're always showing what a nice guy you are

a longing for some uncontrollable scene
and I think about seeing a movie
but the snow's down in this quiet town and there's nothing to do,
so I'll talk for a moment with you

I'm walking upstairs
wishing there were someone up there
she will never be very close to me
