Fifteen Winters, One Warm Doorway

by Nina Vale

“A station door, fifteen winters, and two people older than they remember. It's tender and a little nostalgic, just like the moment itself.”

Lyrics

I saw you at the station door
Older now than the boy I knew before
Your hair has a little silver in it
But your laugh still sounds the same

So many years, so many miles
And you walk up with that same old smile

Fifteen winters, one warm doorway
Fifteen winters and you're here
Time took the long way around us
But it brought you back, my dear
Come in from the cold, come sit by me
We'll talk until the morning light
Fifteen winters, one warm doorway
And the porch lamp burning bright

I kept your chair beside the stove
I never moved it, I don't know why
We have so many stories to tell
And the whole long night to try

So many years, so many miles
And you walk up with that same old smile

Fifteen winters, one warm doorway
Fifteen winters and you're here
Time took the long way around us
But it brought you back, my dear
Come in from the cold, come sit by me
We'll talk until the morning light
Fifteen winters, one warm doorway
And the porch lamp burning bright

No need to explain the distance
No need to count the cost
Love is the thing that waits quietly
For the ones we thought we lost

Fifteen winters, one warm doorway
Fifteen winters and you're here
Time took the long way around us
But it brought you back, my dear
Come in from the cold, come sit by me
We'll talk until the morning light
Fifteen winters, one warm doorway
And the porch lamp burning bright

And the porch lamp burning bright
