Waiting for the Snow
The year crept by in shadows,Oh it seems so long ago.Lost in numb reflection,She was waiting for the snow.It's a long way home when you've strayed so far.She shed her wings and threw herselfInto the storm outside,Ashamed of all the hopes she'd failed;The tears she couldn't hide.The rain wasn't cold enough to remind her she could feel,And life isn't long enough to be waiting, waiting...She met a boy who claimed toUnderstand why she hurtHe reeled her in with fairy tales;she swallowed every word.But it was all too fast; all too crazy to last.She called it love, but it was justAn empty shell she foundToo frail to catch the mesh of dreamsThat spiralled to the groundSongtexteIt's a long way down when you've flown so highLife just isn't long enough to keep waiting, waiting...Waiting for the snowTo hide the tears awayFrozen desert whiteTo camouflage the greyWaiting for the snowBut tomorrow's still alive -If you're waiting for the snowYou won't see it rise(Waiting... waiting...)Now even when she's lonely there's a light that always shines'Cause there's music in the silence if you look between the linesWhen autumn turns to winter as it did so long agoShe'll seal away that memory of waiting for the snow
