Everyone’s gone home now
The party of the eve now over
And soon the dawn will ponder,
For now I’ll try for bed.

But something keeps me on the edge
Something welling up, unsaid
Mere whispers fall on snow as if to rest

Beautiful, it’s beauty that
Takes hold of me in the silence
And it sings to me
Warm as true love’s embrace
A lullaby as the city sleeps beside
Evergreen in January
Here I am full of friends
Winter’s heart, quiet mood,
gathering.

All the years are calling,
small lifetimes, fully realized,
inside my mind this winter,
to warm the months ahead

Crazy laughter, wind swept tears,
family, all those held dear,
They whisper through the past to bid
me rest
Beautiful, it’s beauty that
Takes hold of me in the silence
And it sings to me
Evergreen in January
Here I am full of friends,
Winter’s heart, quiet mood, restless heart, something good
Winter’s heart, quiet mood
gathered near.
