First Snow

Ooh... first snow  
falling slow  
It's snowing, love! You call it out the way you always do  
Same two words at the window glass... and I still run to you  
The kettle waits, the phone can wait, the night can hold its breath  
Two old coats on one porch step... the sky does all the rest  

The world goes hush and silver  
So the heart can hear  

When the first snow falls  
We're every age we've ever been  
Every age we've ever been  
One flake lands on your open hand, and sixty years land in  
Same sky, same wonder, same two names it's always known  
When the first snow falls...  
We begin again  

First snow  
Begin again  

This snow once filled a streetlamp where you first reached for my hand  
It powdered white the church steps... like it always had a plan  
It found us at every address, every roof we've called our own  
Snow never buries what we love... it tucks it in at home  

The world goes hush and silver  
So the heart can hear  

When the first snow falls  
We're every age we've ever been  
Every age we've ever been  
One flake lands on your open hand, and sixty years land in  
Same sky, same wonder, same two names it's always known  
When the first snow falls...  
We begin again  

Catch one... on your glove...  
Still melts the same...  
Still us, my love  

When the first snow falls  
We're every age we've ever been  
Every age we've ever been  
One flake lands on your open hand, and sixty years land in  
Same porch, same light, same hand in mine the whole way home  
When the first snow falls...  
We begin again  

It's snowing, love...  
Come see
