[Verse 1] Red and white scarf in the blur Boot prints cut through powdered hush Emerald eyes Little lanterns burning Every breath a cloud Every step a hush You walk that path that the sun forgot Cold branches grip at your coat One hand buried in a velvet pocket Other hand heavy on the steel you hold [Chorus] Nicole in the snow On a dark dark road Emerald glow You don't let it show Got a price on a ghost Got a promise to keep You trail that shadow while the world’s asleep Nicole in the snow Heartbeat slow Wind sings low Calling you home But you came this far You won't turn back Red scarf flying like a warning flag [Verse 2] Soft Japanese on your chapped lips Little prayer slipping through your teeth (ah) Target’s name on your tongue like poison Past sins crunching underneath your feet Street sign flickers Then disappears Now it’s only you and the tracks you chase Gloved thumb resting on the cold cold circle Future written in a silver trace [Chorus] Nicole in the snow On a dark dark road Emerald glow You don't let it show Got a price on a ghost Got a promise to keep You trail that shadow while the world’s asleep Nicole in the snow Heartbeat slow Wind sings low Calling you home But you came this far You won't turn back Red scarf flying like a warning flag [Bridge] “Mō sukoshi dake…” you breathe (Just a little more) into the freeze Snowflakes melt on your lashes Hide the fire Hide the grief Every step says “I remember” Every footprint says your name If this path rewrites your future Will it wash away the blame? [Chorus] Nicole in the snow On a dark dark road Emerald glow You don't let it show Got a price on a ghost Got a promise to keep You trail that shadow while the world’s asleep Nicole in the snow Heartbeat slow Wind sings low Calling you home But you came this far You won't turn back Red scarf flying like a warning flag [Outro] Red and white scarf in the blur Emerald eyes fade to black One deep breath One last echo Then you never look back
