[Verse 1]
Cold wind carries the scent of fall,
A red fruit falls where no one calls,
I trace the frost on the window pane,
A memory I can't explain.
You left your coat on the wooden chair,
The orchard's bare, the sky's in despair,
I hold the core of a bitter seed,
A winter heart that's lost its need.
[Chorus]
Apples in the snow, red on white,
A burning glow in the pale moonlight,
I reach for you, but the cold bites through,
Apples in the snow, I'm losing you.
[Drop]
(Falling, falling, falling through the frost and the freeze,
Falling, falling, falling to my knees,
Red on white, a silent cry,
Apples in the snow, goodbye.)
[Verse 2]
I carved our names in the frozen bark,
A crooked heart in the fading dark,
The branches bend like a broken spine,
And every bloom was a stolen sign.
I taste the pulp, it's a sour wine,
A vintage made from a twisted vine,
I swallow down what the winter made,
A crimson stain that will never fade.
[Bridge]
If spring ever comes, will it wash the ground?
Will the roots remember what they found?
Or will they grow through the frozen crust,
And turn my longing into dust?
[Chorus]
Apples in the snow, red on white,
A burning glow in the pale moonlight,
I reach for you, but the cold bites through,
Apples in the snow, I'm losing you.
[Outro]
Red on white, a fading hue,
The orchard sleeps, and so do you,
I leave the fruit where the shadows grow,
Apples in the snow.
Apples in the snow.
