Snow

lyrics

Snow

I'm half awake walking down the staircase
And outside
Where the snow is falling on the streetlights
And the cars

I'm steady on my feet though the snow is slippery
I wonder if you are still asleep
While all around me the world has changed
And this strange world by the river has become more strange

The stillness of the river in the distance
I'm alone here for a minute
Frost on my breath
It's early morning and I'm sleepless

You're in another city
I'm here in the snow
I wish that you were here with me
I wish I had a way to let you know
I go back upstairs and drink a whiskey
Sit in the dull yellow light and listen to In Rainbows
Perfect for a night of white snow
In a city
Where I have nowhere to go

You're in another city
I'm here in the snow
I wish that you were back with me
I wish I had a way to let you know

Turn the light on, sing a gentle song
That song you sung so long ago
When you were a kid
Do you still remember it?
Sing as if you did
Sing as if you did
Sing as if you did

Turn the light out, sing a gentle song
A song you sung so long ago
When you were a kid
Do you still remember?
Sing as if you did
Sing as if you did
Sing as if you did

That was in another city
Standing in a car park, in the cold
Wishing I was not so alone
Wishing I had nowhere to go
Wishing I had nowhere to go
