Hearsay

[Verse 1]
(F) Cold at the doorway, blue on the pane  
(F) Your small-town grin pulled me inward again  
(F) Wool on the banister, keys in the bowl  
(F) Late-night highway made a map of my soul  
(F) Leaves hit the windshield, soft red and brown  
(F) Two wrong turns carried us farther from town  
(F) I held that hour like glass in my hand  
(F) I thought that house would hold where we land  

[Pre-Chorus]
(M) Then the room changed shape  
(F) Then the floor lost heat  
(M) Kitchen white stayed up  
(F) While my pulse missed sleep  

[Chorus]
(Both) I keep the winter light  
(Both) I keep the afterglow  
(F) First snow fell clean where the long road curled  
(M) I touched that night and it would not go  
(Both) I keep the winter light  
(Both) I keep the drawer closed slow  
(F) One thin thread from a vanished year  
(M) Still turns that room to a weather I know  

[Verse 2]
(M) Years cut circles, age cut deep  
(M) Sharp little truths never stayed asleep  
(F) You wore that charm like a holiday coat  
(F) I wore my hope like a hand-penned note  
(M) Late call landed, words ran thin  
(M) Long hall spun when the shame walked in  
(F) I gathered pages, keys, and skin  
(F) I drove till dawn put steel within  

[Pre-Chorus]
(M) Old right wore wrong  
(F) Old wrong wore grace  
(M) I closed that book  
(F) I kept my face  

[Chorus]
(Both) I keep the winter light  
(Both) I keep the afterglow  
(F) First snow fell clean where the long road curled  
(M) I touched that night and it taught me slow  
(Both) I keep the winter light  
(Both) I keep the drawer closed slow  
(F) One thin thread from a vanished year  
(M) Still turns that room to a weather I know  

[Bridge]
(F) Kitchen white on the tile  
(M) Frost line on the drive  
(F) I bless the girl from that borrowed year  
(M) I bless the self still here alive  
(Both) I send that house good will  
(Both) I send that cold good grace  
(Both) I keep my hand on the truest rail  
(Both) I walk my own name back in place  

[Chorus]
(Both) I keep the winter light  
(Both) I keep the afterglow  
(F) First snow fell clean where the long road curled  
(M) I touched that night and I let it go  
(Both) I keep the winter light  
(Both) I keep the drawer closed slow  
(F) One thin thread from a vanished year  
(M) Still taught my heart what my hands now know  
(Both) I keep the winter light  
(Both) I keep the winter light  

[Outro]
(F) Road gone still  
(M) Dawn came near  
(Both) House turned dim  
(Both) Name stayed clear
