Letra de 'After Wintertime' de Timothy James Bowen

Close your eyes, put your hand in mine
Little darling, it’s time to go
You’ve been so good, at hiding here
To win the game, we’ll keep our voices low

Hold on to Griffin and I’ll hold on to you
Keep him safe, little paws tucked in tight
I’ve got a bag here, with everything we need
Let’s tiptoe through the snow, into the night

They will tell of stories
About all we left behind
A twisted band of gold that nobody will find
‘Til after wintertime

There’s a train coming, we can get on board
We can make it now if we tried
I’ve got our tickets, all that’s left to do is run
The greatest game of all starts tonight

Try not to think about the white upon the walls
They were crystals that were scattered on the floor
Those red ribbons from the hallway to the door
And to the snow means he can’t hurt us anymore

They will tell of stories
About all we’ve left behind
Footprints in the snow that nobody will find
After wintertime

I know love that’s come and gone
Broken bones and flesh that’s torn
Tonight, I learned a love that’s true

When a man with gentle lies
Was a monster in disguise
Said he’d finish me then start on you

I’ll take it on my bones
A duty to protect from harm
The one I love with all my worth

We’ll go to a safer place
And whether God grants me His grace
Is up to Him but you come first
You come first

You tell Griffin that it’s safe to come out now
Little paws against the window in the sun
And I will tell you, when you’re older dear
And that winter and why we had to run

But for now, just try and sleep awhile
For when you wake our adventures will be new
We are away, we are safe and we are free
And I’d do absolutely anything for you

They will tell of stories
About all we left behind
A monster’s grave of snow, only wild things will find
After winter time
A monster’s grave of snow, only wild things will find
After winter time
