The winter rolls on in
And midnight rolls around
The room is dimly lit
By the cold snow on the ground
My throat is sore, I'm weary
I can't seem to start dreaming
I've got some brand new feelings
I tell them to my ceiling
The hidden light bleeds through
While I think of you
It only happens once a year
And I wish that you were here
To lay with me and watch the hidden light
A streetlight changes colors
Off deep in the distance
Past the sleeping mothers
Leaves the shadows tinted
My hands are cold and restless
They're trembling as they write this
They'd like to interlock with
A pair of someone else's
The hidden light bleeds through
While I think of you
It only happens once a year
And I wish that you were here
To lay with me and watch the hidden light
The woods are weak and fragile
The trees show naked branches
The teenagers light matches
And smoke away conditions
I drink a a glass of ginger
To get me through this winter
You make things so much clearer
I can't wait till I see you
The hidden light bleeds through
While I think of you
It only happens once a year
And I wish that you were here
To lay with me and watch the hidden light
