[Intro: fingerpicked acoustic guitar, pedal steel] [Verse 1] Somewhere over the ocean they're closing the doors Welcome aboard, and the cabin goes quiet Still too early to leave for the airport And nothing in this room will sit still [Verse 2] Wonder what's playing in your headphones tonight Maybe that song of mine you keep Or the one you handed me years ago The one about being no good at saying sorry [Pre-Chorus] Drive out, or take the SkyTrain Either way it's too long to wait [Chorus] Snow like this, they say it never comes Falling on the road, on the rails, on the roof Your boots are by the door Going in the back seat tonight Snow at the gate Falling soft on Christmas night Told myself I wouldn't cry Won't be keeping that Won't be keeping that [Verse 3] Six hours out, and the coffee's gone cold Wiping down a windshield that's already clean Checking the time like it changes a thing Every clock in this house is a liar [Pre-Chorus] Then the board says landed, and Suddenly there's no time at all [Chorus] Snow like this, they say it never comes Falling on the road, on the rails, on the roof Your boots are by the door Going in the back seat tonight Snow at the gate Falling soft on Christmas night Told myself I wouldn't cry Won't be keeping that Won't be keeping that [Bridge: pedal steel swell, vocal softer, harmonies entering] All this time it looked like waiting Like holding on at this end alone But every mile of it, you were coming toward me Every single day, you were coming home [Final Chorus: full band, harmonies wide] And there you are Walking out of all that light After all this time You still find me in a crowd Sit down here, give me your foot Let me get these on you first Then we walk out into the white We're finally here We're finally here [Outro: acoustic guitar and pedal steel, gentle fade] Welcome home
