[Intro ] C,F,Am,GC F Its minus twenty on Stephen Avenue Am G Breath blooming like white smoke C F Im ducking into a shop just to dodge the frosts cruel joke Am G There she was, behind the counter of a place in Mission F G A quiet kind of beauty, like a secret or a vision C F She had a toque pulled low and a "Calgary Public Library" tote Am G Writing something in a ledger, probably a poem or a note F G I lingered by the racks, pretending I was checking the price C F Just to stay in her orbit for a minute, feeling nice Am G But the wind howled outside, a classic Chinook on the way F G I walked out the door and let the moment decay C F Now Im driving down Crowchild Am G Watching the skyline glow C F Wondering if shes still there Am G Or buried in the snow F G Were just ghosts on the C-Train C F Shadows on the glass Am G Watching the reflection of the people as they pass F G From the Beltline to the suburbs C F Echoes in the hall Am G To the ones well never speak to F C I hope youre staying warm, after all C F Flashback to the summer Am G Princes Island Park C F Sun setting over the Peace Bridge Am G Chasing out the dark F G I saw you sitting by the river, feet dangling in the cold C F Reading a paperback with pages turning yellow and gold Am G I was heading to a show at the Palace, running late F G But I stopped for a heartbeat, tempted by the weight C F Of a "hello" that I swallowed Am G a bridge I didnt cross F G Now youre just a line-item in my ledger of loss Am F Then I moved out to Bridgeland C G Then I moved out of town Am F Now the memories of those faces are just weighing me down C G Like the girl at the Stampede booth Am F eyes bright as the lights C G Lost in the crowd of those wild July nights F G The mountains stay the same C F but the people always change Am G Isn't it strange? How you can know the curve of a stranger's smile F G Better than the street youve lived on for a while C F Were all just drifting snow against a Saddle Dome sky Am G Saying hello with our hearts while we whisper goodbye C F Am G Da La Da Da Da Outro C F Now Im looking at the Tower, Am G Red light cutting the fog C F Just another entry in a nameless travel log Am G Im a phantom in your coffee shop F G A blur on your street C F Two parallel lines that were never meant to meet Am G Check the rearview mirror, hit the signal, make the turn F G Leaving all the little fires that we never let burn C F Heading south on Mac cold Trail Am G Just a face in the 17th Ave crowd F G Another winter, another name I'll never know C Stay warm out there C F Am G Da La Da Da Da
