[Intro — whispered] Snow in the silence Breath in the cold No house No voice No end [Verse 1 — low / close] I stopped where the dark trees bend where the town lights disappear a road with no witness a night taking hold and the hush knows my name [Pre-Chorus — rising] The horse remembers home I remember leaving branches hang low like hands on a door somewhere behind me the harness bell shakes once [Chorus — heavy / open] Let me stay in the almost let me fade at the border where the black trees drink the snow where silence has weight where sleep has teeth [Verse 2 — restrained] I have miles inside my body I have names I have to keep but the woods are soft and endless and they speak like sleep [Breakdown — sparse / pulsing] Not dead not dreaming not gone not home just breath just frost just road [Final Chorus — bigger / repeated] Let me stay in the almost let me fade at the border where the black trees drink the snow where silence has weight where sleep has teeth Let me stay in the almost let me stay in the cold [Outro — falling apart] The snow keeps falling the woods keep watching I turn back slowly the road stays true
