Snowlight

Paroles de « Snowlight »

Verse

There is nobody awake in the entire town tonight
Just a streetlamp and a silence and a sidewalk full of snow
And the snow is doing something that the snow is not to glow
It is holding all the light that all the lamps have let it go
Oh the whole entire darkness is a kind of soft below
And my breath is little clouds of complicated white
And I'm walking in the middle of a miracle, alright
And the miracle is quiet and the quiet is a light

Chorus

Snowlight, snowlight, everything is slow
Every window's got a candle and a somebody in there
Every chimney's got a whisper going up into the air
And the coldest place on Earth has got the warmest kind of prayer
Oh I never feel alone when there is nobody here
Snowlight, snowlight, oh the letting go
Is as easy as the falling of a feather made of snow
And as bright as all the bright things that the dark will never know

Verse

I wrote something in the driveway and I signed it with my name
And the snow came down to read it and it read it very sweet
And it covered it with quiet and it made the thing complete
And I didn't even mind it, I don't mind the shy defeat
Oh the prettiest confessions are the ones you don't repeat
So I'm standing in the driveway and I'm glad I'm not the same
As the boy who couldn't say it, as the boy who never came
And the snowlight doesn't judge me and the snowlight isn't blame

Chorus

Snowlight, snowlight, everything is slow
Every window's got a candle and a somebody in there
Every chimney's got a whisper going up into the air
And the coldest place on Earth has got the warmest kind of prayer
Oh I never feel alone when there is nobody here
Snowlight, snowlight, oh the letting go
Is as easy as the falling of a feather made of snow
And as bright as all the bright things that the dark will never know

In the morning it will melt and all the magic will be old
And the plows will make a mess of it and cart the light away
And the town will get its ordinary ordinary day
And the kids will go to school and there'll be nothing else to say
Oh but something in the snowlight will be with me either way
It's a blue and it's a silver and it's better than the gold
It's the softest thing that ever made a person feel so bold
And I'll carry it in April and I'll carry it when I'm old
