[Intro] (Soft instrumental build-up, sound of wind outside) [Verse 1] The streetlights turn the sidewalk gold The world is white, the air is cold I watch the cars go sliding by Beneath a heavy, velvet sky The clock creates a steady beat I’m buried in this window seat No place to go, no need to run The winter evening has begun. [Pre-Chorus] The thermometer is dropping low But I’ve got nowhere else to go Let the city freeze and slow... [Chorus] There’s frost on the window, fire in the grate The world can wait, yeah, the world can wait Wrapped in wool and sipping tea Just the silence keeping company Let it snow, let it pile high I’m safe and warm inside. [Verse 2] Shadows stretch across the floor I locked the world outside the door A book I’ve read a thousand times Comfort in the familiar lines The static on the radio Is mixing with the falling snow A perfect kind of solitude A quiet, frozen interlude. [Chorus] There’s frost on the window, fire in the grate The world can wait, yeah, the world can wait Wrapped in wool and sipping tea Just the silence keeping company Let it snow, let it pile high I’m safe and warm inside. [Bridge] (Minimal instrumentation, stripped back) Everything is hushed and deep The city finally falls asleep Breathing out a cloud of gray Washing all the noise away... [Guitar Solo / Synth Solo] (Melodic, slow, melancholic but warm) [Chorus] There’s frost on the window, fire in the grate The world can wait, yeah, the world can wait Wrapped in wool and sipping tea Just the silence keeping company Let it snow, let it pile high I’m safe and warm inside. [Outro] Safe and warm inside. Let it fall. Just watch it fall. (Fade out with vinyl crackle or wind sound)
