Lyrics
Snow Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you walked in, I just stood still
I said, I'm sorry, love, I have no will
If I try to move, I'll break and spill
What's left of me, my weight will kill
If I die inside this bitter shell
It will be upon a frozen lake
My knees will break, my breath will swell
The snow around my blood will paint
Lord, I know my timing's off
And all the earth is ragged to the bone, oh, oh
Tired is the burning sea
That calls me to the bottom like a stone, oh oh
And I'm sinking alone
Now inside this blinded bend
I'll pour the ink down through my pen
In sentences that will defend
My misery until the end
Lord, I know my timing's off
And all the earth is ragged to the bone, oh, oh
Tired is the burning sea
That calls me to the bottom like a stone, oh oh
And I'm sinking alone
I'm sinking alone
I'm sinking alone
