As the snow is falling down
Putting borders of white on every fixture in this town
You hear it crunch beneath your feet
As you walk with eyes wide open full of wonder through the street
Across the graveyard into town
And pay attention to the silence that resides behind the sounds
0f birds singing in the trees
And for a moment you're distracted from all those bitter memories
Well I hope our love ain't like the snow
Temporary, soon to go
Fleeting beauty till the sun or rain
Comes to beat it down the drain
But there's no way of knowing darling how long this can last
I hear that love can stick, it never has in the past
There's no way of knowing darling it's just like you said
Especially in such a restless heart, and windy head
So as this canvas starts to melt
And all these colours fade to grey will you still feel the way you felt
As a child in the snow
Or quickly tire as you realise that your feet are getting cold
Don't answer now just hold your tongue
'Cause you don't know and either way it's just another song unsung
Well I hope our love ain't like the snow
Temporary, soon to go
Fleeting beauty till the sun or rain
Comes to beat it down the drain
But there's no way of knowing darling how long this can last
I hear that love can stick, it never has in the past
There's no way of knowing darling it's just like you said
Especially in such a restless heart, and windy head
