a cold December morning woke me from the window so I rose to see the frozen glow
B F# B F#
I could see you standing outside with Rufus at your heels
B A#m F# G#m D#m G# F#
staring at the dawn light falling pink upon the snowy fields
D#m F#
and I remember what you said
B A#m D#m F# C#
comforts the first thing we forget once the light of day has passed

You said we've come to love the oak grove
B A#m G#m D#m G# F#
because the oaks are what we know and when we watched their growth we watch our own
B F# B F#
when I close my eye lids deep into the night
B A#m F# G#m D#m C# F#
I still can see the shape of light that shown around you all my life
D#m F#
like when the co-o-old autumn rain
D#m A#m
so-o-oaked our skin for days
G#m F# C#
you walked us out into the ominous graves
G#m D#m B A#m
to baaaaaptize our young eyes so we know that we make little ourselves
D#m G#m D#m B A#m
though tiiiiiiired and freezing and the photo we remember it well
G#m D#m C# F#
though the pressure makes our bodies ache
G#m D#m A#m A#
when the darkness swallows up the day
G#m D#m F#
our tiny mouths have only thanks to say
