You Only Cross My Mind In Winter

C     G             C
Always this winter child,
           Dm       G7            
December's sun sits low against 
  C
the sky
Am    B               Am
Cold light on frozen fields,
                     D      G
The cattle in their stable lowing.

      C        G            C
When two walked this winter road,
             Dm           G7      
Ten thousand miles seemed nothing 
       C
to us then,
Am   B                Am
one walks with heavy tread

                        D        
The space between their footsteps 
  G4  G
slowing

G                    A7
All day the snow did fall,
What's left of the day is close 
      Dm
drawn in,
             C                 A  
I speak your name as if you'd 
   A7
answer me,

         F                    
But the silence of the snow is 
    C
deafening
F                        G
How well do I recall our arguments,
     C                    
Our logic owed no debts or 
 F
recompense,
   Dm                      G7
Philosophy and faith were ghosts 
that we would chase until
              C     D    D7  G
The gates of heaven were broken

C                              G
But something makes me turn, I don't
 know,
    Cm                     G
To see another's footsteps there in 
the snow,
              F                    
I smile to myself and then I wonder
        Dm
 why it is
                  G       G7   C
You only cross my mind in winter
