midwinter from Midwinter by Schmaltzloop

Windows open
Onto clouds of snowfall
Sun's been down a thousand years and
I don't know how far you've gone
I bite my tongue 'cus nobody might hear my call and I
Think I'd rather not know at all

Settle inside
Set the clocks to sing by moonrise
Dream by day 'til weeks go by
I'll hear your voice and know it's spring time
But I close my eyes
And I'm cursed with the first of a kind
Awake in endless white

But if I look again
The valley's still familiar
And if I look it's like there's
Someone there
(Look again)

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where the flowers go
When the summer's fleeting
There's nothing but me
In the midwinter

But there's flurries through the trees
Partly covered prints on the ice sheet
I look outside to check
The treadmarks match my paw

And amid the tracks I'll see you then
An odd, taller startled silhouette
Your likeness lost beneath the moon glow
You're still the same but you're different than I know
And you look again
Am I person you knew back then?

('Cus you could fade away right here)
(On the Lonely Mountain)
(And you could fade away from here)
Stay away and I'll dissipate as I hope

Frame froze enclosed by solid ground
And I'm standing still to sense your sound
But the world's so loud could I make it out
Could you hear it?
'Til the tension collapses at my door I
Go the mile just to sit and hide
You're just trying to get inside

'Cus when you look again
The seasons lead you somewhere new
And when you look again you'll
Find your way
(Look again)

But I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where the flowers go

'Cus I don't know
I don't know
I don't know how to get out so

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know if you're watching
Through my window
Of my buried home
In the midwinter
