Morning after snow storm, stand in the silence Almost feel reborn all alone in the street It's a certain sort of stillness when the quiet surrounds you The only sound you shovel on concrete. I remember those piles from the snow plows Always seemed much bigger back when I was a kid. Pushed all the snow to the end of the driveway I was the only person up in the neighborhood Morning after snowstorm, I turned the ignition and I started my car morning after snowstorm I scraped off my windshields with the edge of a credit card I remember that drive into work.

In a dress there, with your eyes open wide to put make-up on Thought of the day in the basement that I played house And I felt ashamed I'd ignored all the hands that extended before and around me Because I was afraid to change, But that's not an excuse to stay It's not an excuse!
