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
