Snow

[00:05.79] The branches have traded
[00:09.55] Their leaves for white sleeves
[00:13.64] All warm blooded creatures make ghosts as they breathe
[00:21.01] Scarves are wrapped tightly like gifts under trees
[00:29.63] Christmas lights tangle in knots annually
[00:36.76] All families huddle closely
[00:39.65] Betting warmth against the cold
[00:42.95] All the bruises seem to surface
[00:46.60] Like mud beneath the snow
[00:50.76] So we sing carols softly
[00:54.70] As sweet as we know
[00:58.79] A prayer that our burdens will lift as we go
[01:05.66] Like young love still waiting under mistletoe
[01:12.78] We'll welcome December with tireless hope
[01:18.87] Let our bells keep on ringing
[01:22.02] Making angels in the snow
[01:25.22] And may the melody disarm us
[01:28.67] When the cracks begin to show
[01:31.86] Like the petals in our pockets
[01:35.54] May we remember who we are
[01:38.16] Unconditionally cared for
[01:41.71] By those who share our broken hearts
[01:46.56]
[01:49.36] The table is set
[01:51.68] And all glasses are full
[01:55.76] The pieces go missing
[01:58.55] May we still feel whole
[02:02.13] We'll build new traditions in place of the old
[02:09.54] Cause life without revision will silence our souls
[02:16.10] Let the bells keep on ringing
[02:19.08] Making angels in the snow
[02:22.54] And may the melody surround us
[02:26.09] When the cracks begin to show
[02:28.84] Like the petals in our pockets
[02:32.08] May we remember who we are
[02:35.51] Unconditionally cared for
[02:38.76] By those who share our broken hearts
[02:45.85] As gentle as feathers
[02:49.46] The snow piles high
[02:53.22] Our world gets rewritten and retraced every time
[02:59.75] Like fresh plates and clean slates
[03:03.63] Our future is white
[03:06.92] New Years resolutions are reset tonight
[03:13.17]
