Lyrics for Snow Song
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 timings off And all the Earth is ragged to the bone Tired is the burning sea That calls me to the bottom like a stone Oooohhh I am, sinking alone Mmmmmm Now inside this blinded bend I pour the ink down through my pen In sentences that will defend My misery, until the end Lord, I know my timings off And all the Earth is ragged to the bone Tired is the burning sea That calls me to the bottom like a stone Oooohhh I am sinking alone I am sinking alone I am sinking alone
