Frost on every windowpane
China cups and silver shivers
Steam is curling through my name
Coats drip snow along the doorway
Boots lined up in gentle rows
On the carpet, soft and quiet
Tiny moose tracks in the snow
Moose tracks in the snow
Leading where I used to go
Through the garden, past the gate
Past the years we decorate
One step, then two
Side by side with you
In my mind I always know
I’ll follow moose tracks in the snow
You stir sugar with a whisper
Laugh lines dancing on your face
Accordion sighs in the corner
Strings are humming round the place
Outside carriages grow smaller
As the daylight folds and goes
Time walks softly down the carpet
Leaving moose tracks in the snow
Moose tracks in the snow
Leading where we used to go
Round the tables, past the tea
Past the ghosts of you and me
One step, then two
All the world askew
Every footprint seems to glow
Those little moose tracks in the snow
[Strings and accordion swell, then hush]
If I ever lose my way
When the evening closes in
I will trace those patterned paths
Back to where our hands begin
Moose tracks in the snow
Fading where the lamplights glow
Through the winter, through the years
Through the laughter, through the tears
One step, then two
I come back to you
As the melody moves slow
On tiny moose tracks in the snow
