Birch and Pine

Verse 1

Frost on the window pane

Road cuts through the birch and pine

Headlights trace the white

Nothing but the moon for miles

Pre-Chorus

And I thought I saw your shadow

In the smoke of a distant chimney glow

But the cold just pulled me forward

Down a road I barely know

Chorus

Oh, I'm coming home when the snow melts

When the river wakes and the ice lets go

Through the broken fields I walked through

Every step I took was yours

Verse 2

Village lights like scattered stars

Flicker low along the hill

Church bells buried under frost

Ring so quiet, ringing still

Pre-Chorus

And I wrote your name in the window

Where the breath fades fast and the glass runs clear

But the night just swallowed letters

One by one they disappeared

Chorus

Oh, I'm coming home when the snow melts

When the river wakes and the ice lets go

Through the broken fields I walked through

Every step I took was yours

Every step I took was yours

Bridge

And if spring never finds this valley

I'll build a fire in the dark

I'll hum the song your mother sang

And wait inside the cold

Final Chorus

Till I'm coming home when the snow melts

When the river wakes and the ice lets go

Through the broken fields I walked through

Every step I took was yours

Every step I took was yours

Every step I took was yours
