Moving Room (v2)

[Verse 1]

The window holds a paper sky

White fields folding as we ride

A paper cup warms both my hands

Pastures disappear beneath the glass

[Pre-Chorus]

Each little town slips out of view

The snow keeps falling, pale and new

[Chorus]

I watch the winter from this moving room

Soft flakes turning in the afternoon

Your name is written where the cold winds go

Then fades behind us in the falling snow

[Verse 2]

The conductor calls the next stop low

A child counts bridges as they go

My coat is folded by my side

The rails keep time beneath the quiet ride

[Pre-Chorus]

And every mile becomes a thread

Between the things we left unsaid

[Chorus]

I watch the winter from this moving room

Soft flakes turning in the afternoon

Your name is written where the cold winds go

Then fades behind us in the falling snow

[Bridge]

If I could hold one moment still

I’d keep the trees along the hill

Their dark arms lifted, clean and bare

While winter gathers everywhere

[Final Chorus]

I watch the winter from this moving room

Soft flakes turning in the afternoon

No map can tell me where these feelings go

They travel with me through the falling snow

[Outro]

The window dims, the evening starts

The train goes on, and so does my heart
