[Verse 1] Snow gathers softly on the garden chair One blue cup cools beside the door The house keeps breathing through the quiet air And asks for nothing more [Chorus] Silver winter nights Leave room for a quieter heart You can hear the old clock crossing One careful room to the next Silver winter nights Hold the world a little apart And I find you in the stillness Like a hand resting over mine [Verse 2] A fox leaves commas by the cedar fence The moon lays paper on the floor I read your note beside the window sill Then read the same line once more [Chorus] Silver winter nights Leave room for a quieter heart You can hear the old clock crossing One careful room to the next Silver winter nights Hold the world a little apart And I find you in the stillness Like a hand resting over mine [Bridge] No need to fill the dark with answers No need to name what disappears Stay until the kettle settles Stay until the morning nears [Final Chorus] Silver winter nights Leave room for a quieter heart Every small and waiting silence Feels less empty where you are Silver winter nights Keep the fragile hours bright I can meet the dawn unhurried With your warmth beside mine [Outro] Snow gathers softly on the garden chair The first bird turns the page
