Lyrics

The flakes are falling soft on the station roof
They melt before they ever reach the ground
Fifteen winters since we said goodbye
And now your voice is the first familiar sound

You're waving from the window of the evening train
Your scarf is red, the same as long ago
The snow can't settle, but we don't need it to
We have each other, and that's all we need to know

Open up the doors
Here comes everything we kept for years

Snow on the platform, friends on the train
We're laughing in the falling flakes again
Nothing stays and nothing has to stay
When the ones you love are on their way
Snow on the platform, friends on the train
Fifteen years dissolve like winter rain
Hold me close and say my name
Snow on the platform, friends on the train

We'll find a little café by the line
And talk until the lamps are burning low
About the ones we were and the ones we've grown to be
And the places that we swore we'd go

Open up the doors
Here comes everything we kept for years

Snow on the platform, friends on the train
We're laughing in the falling flakes again
Nothing stays and nothing has to stay
When the ones you love are on their way
Snow on the platform, friends on the train
Fifteen years dissolve like winter rain
Hold me close and say my name
Snow on the platform, friends on the train

Let the whistle blow, let the engine sigh
Let the snow come down from a silver sky
Every year apart is a little song
And together we sing it all night long

Snow on the platform, friends on the train
We're laughing in the falling flakes again
Nothing stays and nothing has to stay
When the ones you love are on their way
Snow on the platform, friends on the train
Fifteen years dissolve like winter rain
Hold me close and say my name
Snow on the platform, friends on the train

Snow on the platform, friends on the train
