Child of Snow

Child of Snow - per se

Gone are the days when we were innocent and white

Picture of stars replaced by rows of city lights

Now if you look beyond the window sill

Deep within the pines

Out in the cold I lie I lie

Gone are the songs we sang of who we'd all become

Much like the lullabies we faded one by one

Now if you look beneath the floor of ice

Frozen overnight

Hollow and still there lies our lives

You were saying you were saying

All of us are growing up

I was waiting I was waiting

Never got to see the morning sun

Ha

Gone is the house where we made memories of snow

Now all the kids are gone and trees have overgrown

Under the shelter of an empty swing

Sits a book of mine

Scribbles and sketches of our time

A fairy tale recounting life

You were saying you were saying

All of us are growing up

I was waiting I was waiting

Winter ended so abrupt

Ha ha ha

What I would give for one more day ay ay

Here comes the sun spring has arrived

The ice starts to thaw no clouds in the sky

But something feels odd

Did someone near me escape my memory

The children will sing a beautiful song

Of when they grow up and all move along

The lyrics recall a scene from the story

That I have never seen

The flowers in bloom the birds have returned

And in our old house the fire still burns

Where have I seen

This puddle before me through the ice

You were saying you were saying

All the world is growing up

I was waiting I was waiting

Winter ended so abrupt

Ha ha ha

What I would give for one more day ay ay

And I I I

Quickly before I melt away ay ay
