fingers resting on the iron latch
waiting for the silent heavy match
walking past the house where the ivy grows
hiding every secret that the winter knows
tracing out your name upon the window frost
counting every hour that the heart has lost
knowing every step that I will never take
keeping every promise that I did not break
mm-mm-mm-mm
mm-mm-mm-mm
da-da-da-da
da-da-da-da
mm-mm-mm-mm
da-da-da-da
writing on the page but the words are thin
hiding every feeling that is locked within
watching how the candle flickers in the hall
counting every shadow on the outer wall
folding down the corner of a heavy page
keeping every silence in a golden cage
turning from the handle and I walk away
saving all the things I wanted to say
mm-mm-mm-mm
mm-mm-mm-mm
da-da-da-da
da-da-da-da
mm-mm-mm-mm
da-da-da-da
one step forward then I move it back
staying on the middle of the track
never let the iron hit the stone
walking in the winter all alone
mm-mm-mm-mm
da-da-da-da
mm-mm
