The Quiet That the Winter Leaves

Lyrics: Dream Factory Music: Dream Factory Arranger: Dream Factory The snow fell quiet on the empty street While I was counting patches on my winter sheet No tree, no lights, no family on the phone Just me and the radio playing songsI've never known I used to think that cold was just a season But now I knowit's somethingI've been holding I'm not lonely,I'm just learning how to breathe In the quiet that the winter leaves And Idon't need an old fashioned christmas Idon't need the snow to fall on cue I'm just looking for a small space to exist in Where the silence feels a little less blue My grandma sent a card with a photo from last year Everyone was smiling, no one knew Iwasn't there I wrote back" Happy Holidays" and signed it with my name But Ididn't say the winter is a placeI've grown to claim And maybeI'll find warmth in other ways A cup of tea, a phone call, a few good days I'm not waiting for the perfect scene I'm just making peace with what the season means to me Idon't need an old fashioned christmas… I just need to knowI'm still here… in the quiet…
