[Verse 1] Little house at the edge of the pines Smoke curls slow through the frosted sky Old woman hums as the daylight breaks Steam from her cup meets the quiet lake [Chorus] She’s the lady of the winter lake Laugh lines deep, but her heart awake Feeding all the sparrows like they’re hers to keep Snow on the rooftop world fast asleep Christmas in her kitchen soft and sweet With the forest at her feet [Verse 2] Crumbs on the step and a smile on her face Tiny wings tremble as they crowd her lace A fox in the clearing stops to stare Deer in the shadows like a silent prayer [Chorus] [Bridge] Sometimes there’s a flicker where the tall firs stand A little red hat and a tiny hand She laughs to herself “Run along, my friend” As the branches sway and the snowflakes bend [Verse 3] Twilight blue on the glassy shore Candles glow gold through the wooden door She hums old carols to the listening trees While the forest animals breathe in peace [Chorus]
