She comes out of nowhere, with nowhere to go
And it's like you were waiting, but you just didn't, just didn't know
She might look away, but she'll never treat you unkind
On a cold, cold night, when the stars refuse to shine
Her voice is a prayer, and it hides in the wind
Till the wind just forgets her
And that's where all of her stories begin
She was not sent to guide you
As that long road unwinds
On a cold, cold night, when the stars refuse to shine
A maple branch clicks up above you
The mailbox bleeds in the snow
The light on her face from the grocery behind you
She's one you can never let go
Her eyes tell a secret you never can share
And it seems in a minute
She has always been, always been there
It happens so quickly
Nothing can go wrong this time
On a cold, cold night, when the stars refuse to shine
