From the recording Tins & Pins & Peppermints
Lyrics
You breathed upon my window pane.
It froze, and there the mark remains.
It makes me want to love again.
Glad tidings.
You made the child inside me smile.
That hasn't happened for awhile.
A mark of joy can last for miles.
Glad tidings.
I am as new as anyone. I am as ancient as the sun.
Mark my words: time can be undone with glad tidings.
You came to visit in the snow.
Your footprints stay after you go.
A mark that winter lets me know.
Glad tidings.
I've hurt you so much over time,
A mark of pain that haunts my mind.
You tell me you forgive the crime.
Glad tidings.
I am as new as anyone. I am as ancient as the sun.
Mark my words: time can be undone with glad tidings.
They put some nails inside some hands
Before the folks could understand.
A mark of sorrow filled the land.
Sad timing.
There are some answers up above.
Of what I know, this is enough:
I am the mark of someone's love.
Glad tidings.
I am as new as anyone. I am as ancient as the sun.
Mark my words: time can be undone with glad tidings.
