Last night we went out to the orchard in the snow   There in the constellations, a big dipper far below   We walked through the blackness, felt the endless space around   And you bent down on your knee and picked an apple from the ground      Out past the forest where the Saint Lawrence lies   We heard the cargo ships go pushing through the ice   You turned when we heard them, your breath hung in the air    And you said, "Just 'cause we can't see them doesn't mean that they're not there   But I'm not afraid of what I can't see   Don't need a reason, don't need to believe"      We climbed up a latter that leaned against the hay   And out in the distance saw the highway far away   The headlights all sparkled, blending into the sky above   Where the moon was coming up, and I knew that's all there was   But I'm not afraid of all that space   'Cause everything I need is written on your face      Over by the barn in the dark, we heard the geese   They carried our boots past the naked little trees   We smelled the cold bark in the air and the sweetness of    The fruit on the ground, and the wood smoke above
