Lyrics
(Violin Intro)
(Verse 1)
rain is falling down
covering the ground
with a blanket of grey sky
(Bridge)
face against the glass
watch the moments pass
the waves crash
against the breakwall
on this…
(Hook)
the first cold day of winter.
(Instrumental)
(Verse 2)
memories remain
the sound of falling rain
there behind the door…
medals from a war
(Bridge)
Photographs on the mantelpiece, 1943
taken on
(Hook)
the first cold day of winter
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
and she still recalls,
though he feels so far away
the times they shared
when the kids were young
(Interlude)
memories linger
as the kettle starts to boil
she pours the tea
and falls deeper
Into yesterday...
(Interlude)
(Verse3)
clothes and souvenirs
nails and rusted gears
footsteps in the hall
she wonders, is he near?
(Bridge)
a shadow falls
upon her shoulder,
the trees whisper
in her ear
as she walks out to
(Hook)
the first cold day of winter
(Interlude)
As she walks out
To The first cold day of winter.
(End)
the times they shared
when the kids were young
(Interlude)
memories linger
as the kettle starts to boil
she pours the tea
and falls deeper
Into yesterday...
(Interlude)
(Verse3)
clothes and souvenirs
nails and rusted gears
footsteps in the hall
she wonders, is he near?
(Bridge)
a shadow falls
upon her shoulder,
the trees whisper
in her ear
as she walks out to
(Hook)
the first cold day of winter
(Interlude)
As she walks out
To The first cold day of winter.
(End)
(Instrumental)
(Instrumental)
(Verse 1)
clothes and souvenirs
nails and rusted gears
footsteps in the hall
she wonders, is he near?
(Bridge)
a shadow falls
upon her shoulder,
the wind whispers
in her ear
as she walks out to
(Hook)
the first cold day of winter
(End)
(end)
