[Intro] (Lonely clean guitar, distant wind) Ooh… Ooh… ⸻ [Verse 1] The winter found me waiting In the town I used to know Standing where we used to meet Watching traffic move too slow The trees are bare as bones now The river’s hard and still And every road I swore I’d leave Somehow leads me here until I’m staring at the sky again Looking for what left ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] The season never changed Only I did ⸻ [Chorus] Ravens in the snow Watching where the footprints end Picking through the pieces Of a life I couldn’t mend Ravens in the snow Against a frozen sky The only things still with me Since the day you said goodbye ⸻ [Verse 2] I passed the little coffee shop Where we’d lose whole afternoons The table by the window Still catches light the same as June And for a second I could almost Hear your voice drift through the room Then the door swung closed And silence came too soon Funny how a memory Can feel so close And still be gone ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] The world keeps moving forward While I’m learning how to stay ⸻ [Chorus] Ravens in the snow Watching where the footprints end Picking through the pieces Of a life I couldn’t mend Ravens in the snow Against a frozen sky The only things still with me Since the day you said goodbye ⸻ [Bridge] I remember blackbirds in winter Circling overhead Back when loneliness was something I thought I understood instead But loneliness was simpler Before I knew your name Before your laugh filled every silence Before I had something to lose Before I had you ⸻ [Instrumental Break] (Slow, mournful electric guitar lead) ⸻ [Final Chorus] Ravens in the snow Gather where the daylight dies Like dark reminders Of the look within your eyes Ravens in the snow Their wings cut through the gray And every shadow they leave behind Looks a little like your shape Ravens in the snow Still circling low Still circling low ⸻ [Outro] (Voice nearly whispered) The winter came back… But it didn’t come alone… Ravens in the snow… Ravens in the snow… (fade into wind and distant guitar)
