Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The snow is softly falling
The air is still in the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon each page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you
The fire is dying
Now my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting
The morning light steals across my window pane
Where webs of snow are drifting
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you
And to be once again with you
The first stanza sets the scene for the song - it's winter, the lamp is flickering on the table, and snow is falling outside. The air is still and quiet, and the singer hears the voice of someone he loves calling out to him. He yearns for this person to be with him, to hold their hand and breathe a sigh together on this peaceful winter night.
In the second stanza, the singer is alone in his room, with only the rising smoke and an almost-empty glass keeping him company. He re-reads a letter from his lover, carefully parsing each line for words of love; it seems like he's trying to find comfort in their words. He wonders if she's feeling as lonely as he is, and says he'd be content just to hold her hand on this winter night.
The final stanza describes the end of the night, as the fire dies down and the morning light slowly starts to creep in. The singer wishes his lover were there to share the moment with him, to breathe a sigh and hold hands as the snow drifts outside. Overall, the song is a poignant expression of longing and the comfort we find in our loved ones during the quiet moments of winter.

The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The light on my table is almost out
The snow is softly falling
The snow outside is gently coming down
The air is still in the silence of my room
My room is quiet and peaceful
I hear your voice softly calling
I can hear your voice in my mind
If I could only have you near
If only I could be with you
To breathe a sigh or two
To share a soft breath or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Being able to hold your hands would make me so happy
On this winter night with you
Spending a winter evening with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
Smoke is wafting up in the dark shadows above me
My glass is almost empty
I'm almost finished my drink
I read again between the lines upon each page
I'm reading the words you wrote me over and over
The words of love you sent me
Those words you wrote me expressing your love
If I could know within my heart
If only I could feel it in my heart
That you were lonely too
That you're feeling lonely too
The fire is dying
The fire is slowly going out
Now my lamp is growing dim
The light on my table is getting even dimmer
The shades of night are lifting
The darkness is slowly starting to fade
The morning light steals across my window pane
The first rays of sunshine are peeking through my window
Where webs of snow are drifting
I can see the snow drifts outside my window
And to be once again with you
I long to be with you again
