My Last Cold Winter

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

The bags are stacked by the wooden door

I won't walk these stone halls anymore

Frost is chewing the edge of the street

For the last time it bites at my feet

Smoke from the chimneys is thinning to gray

Like the summers we buried and gave away

Pre-Chorus

This is my final winter here

The last time the cold comes near

The piano plays for what we never said

For every word I left unsaid

Chorus

Oh it's my last cold winter in this village of mine

Watching the snow come down one final time

The guitar is heavy and my heart is stone

Leaving the only home I've known

The shadows stretch long and the river stands still

As I say goodbye to the house on the hill

Verse 2

Streetlamps look smaller through the freezing rain

Every corner I know just brings me pain

I press to the glass and the glass is cold

Watching the end of a tale never told

I pull my coat tight to the bitter breeze

And whisper farewell to the snow on the trees

Pre-Chorus

This is my final winter here

The last time the cold comes near

The piano weeps for what we never said

For every word I left unsaid

Chorus

Oh it's my last cold winter in this village of mine

Watching the snow come down one final time

The guitar is heavy and my heart is stone

Leaving the only home I've known

The shadows stretch long and the river stands still

As I say goodbye to the house on the hill

Bridge

How do I leave the soil and the stone

How do I step into the unknown

The village is sleeping it doesn't know

That tomorrow morning I will go

Yeah tomorrow morning I am gone

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Oh it's my last cold winter in this village of mine

Watching the snow come down one final time

The guitar is heavy and my heart is stone

Leaving the only home I've known

The shadows stretch long and the river stands still

As I say goodbye to the house on the hill

Outro

My last winter

The fire goes out

Goodbye my village
