We walked together in the winter snow
Usually arguing, earning bemused smiles from our companions
I didn't understand the significance of those precious times
Until long after you were gone

Nearly a year later, I found myself walking all alone
The Van Elm Region seemed the same
And the walls of Woodley stood ever sturdy, ever high
But when I looked behind me
Only gently falling snow filling in my footsteps

The familiar old home seems so quiet now
None of the voices I used to know reach my ears
Those wonderful times are long gone,
Never to return

The snow keeps on falling
Season after season
But every time I look back
You're still gone
