Snow fell lightly down, But you didn’t notice it ‘Til it moved past the light Forest and the fields, A golden halo set Reflected on the trees
The water froze up On the roof of our house And rolled down the sides And the smooth, frigid spikes Just reached for the ground But the only way to get down there Would cause their body to break
The moon smiled down on us To tell us it’s okay, But he’s far enough away That the only thing he can Make out are the stars, The mountains, and the lakes How naïve the sky, Paints itself so bright Not knowing all the while We crawled out of the cave We pulled out all its guts To see what we could make
You told me you see The same thing every night You toss and you turn As you’re sinking beneath And you say you’re scared to death Of what is gonna happen If you stay too long Well I wait by your side, Stay with you all night, But your eyes never close And you shake and you scream And you gasp for air As you’re falling asleep And I grab you so hard That I bruise both your arms And the sun is the sun, And the weeds are just weeds
This will only take a second Take you to the cemetery
Can’t help but think every night What could have been if we’d found her alive Can’t help but feel it inside What did he do to you, you poor, helpless child?
We walked so deep into the woods That we could not remember how to get back A golden halo set thirty feet above They said it would be okay There is an ocean beneath the ground Where the blood runs rapidly. If you look close enough You can see it seeping up around you and me As we sit ‘til we freeze in the snow, in the trees
