Lyrics for Steal Softly Thru Snow

The black paper between a mirror breaks my heart The moon frayed through dark velvet lightly apart Steal softly through sunshine Steal softly through snow The wild goose flies from winter Breaks my heart that I can't go Energy flys through a field 'N the sun softly melts a nothing wheel Steal softly through sunshine Steal softly through snow The black paper between a mirror breaks my heart that I can't go The swan their feathers don't grow They're spun They live two hundred years of love They're one Breaks my heart to see them cross the sun Grain grows rainbows up straw hill Breaks my heart to see the highway cross the hill Man lived a million years 'n still he kills The black paper between a mirror Breaks my heart that I can't go Steal softly through sunshine Steal softly through snow
