She comes out of nowhere, with nowhere to goAnd it's like you were waiting, but you just didn't, just didn't knowShe might look away, but she'll never treat you unkindOn a cold, cold night, when the stars refuse to shineHer voice is a prayer, and it hides in the windTill the wind just forgets herAnd that's where all of her stories beginShe was not sent to guide youAs that long road unwindsOn a cold, cold night, when the stars refuse to shineA maple branch clicks up above youThe mailbox bleeds in the snowThe light on her face from the grocery behind youShe's one you can never let goHer eyes tell a secret you never can shareAnd it seems in a minuteShe has always been, always been thereIt happens so quicklyNothing can go wrong this timeOn a cold, cold night, when the stars refuse to shine*
