///*****/// [INSTRUMENTAL INTRO] [DELICATE, FAST-PACED ACOUSTIC FINGERPICKING JOINED BY SOFT, REVERB-DRENCHED ELECTRIC GUITAR] [VERSE 1] The blue hour lingers on the frozen pane Writing your name in the frost again The world is a photograph, black and white Waiting for the stars to catch the light Breath like smoke in the morning air Finding a silence everywhere [PRE-CHORUS] And the clock on the wall is the only sound While the snow keeps falling on the ground Everything is slowing down... [CHORUS] Oh, keep me warm in the heart of the night Under the weight of the winter white We don’t need the sun to find our way Stay with me until the break of day Soft and silver, calm and still The world is sleeping on the hill [INTERLUDE] [ACOUSTIC GUITAR CONTINUES; SUBTLE, WARM PIANO MELODY ENTERS] [VERSE 2] Shadows dancing on the bedroom floor The wind is a ghost at the kitchen door We’re tucked away from the ice and the gale Inside a story, a winter’s tale Your hand in mine is a steady spark In the hollow center of the dark [PRE-CHORUS] And the clock on the wall is the only sound While the snow keeps falling on the ground Everything is slowing down... [CHORUS] Oh, keep me warm in the heart of the night Under the weight of the winter white We don’t need the sun to find our way Stay with me until the break of day Soft and silver, calm and still The world is sleeping on the hill [INTERLUDE] [BRUSHED DRUMS AND SUBTLE BASS LINE] [BRIDGE] The rivers have turned into ribbons of glass Watching the season slowly pass There’s a peace in the cold that I never knew As long as I’m waking up next to you The long night... the long night... [INSTRUMENTAL SOLO] [CLEAN ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO WITH HEAVY REVERB AND DELAY] [FINAL CHORUS] Oh, keep me warm in the heart of the night Under the weight of the winter white We don’t need the sun to find our way Stay with me until the break of day Soft and silver, calm and still The world is sleeping on the hill [INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO] [DRUMS AND PIANO FADE OUT; ELECTRIC GUITAR SWELLS LINGER] [FINAL ACOUSTIC CHORD] [END]
