You Only Cross My Mind In Winter

Key: C

Introduction:

 C         G                         C 
Always this winter child,
                       Dm             G7                           C 
December's sun sits low against 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                         C 
Ten thousand miles seemed nothing to us then,
 Am     B                               Am 
one walks with heavy tread
                                                 D                   G4   G 
The space between their footsteps slowing
 G                                       A7 
All day the snow did fall,
                                                                             Dm 
What's left of the day is close drawn in,
                           C                                 A         A7 
I speak your name as if you'd answer me,
                   F                                               C 
But the silence of the snow is deafening
 F                                               G 
How well do I recall our arguments,
           C                                         F 
Our logic owed no debts or 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                                                       Dm 
I smile to myself and then I wonder why it is
                                     G             G7     C 
You only cross my mind in winter
