Helen Trevillion - Waiting For The Snow lyrics

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 herself Into 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 to Understand why she hurt He 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 just An empty shell she found Too frail to catch the mesh of dreams That spiralled to the ground It's a long way down when you've flown so high Life just isn't long enough to keep waiting, waiting... Waiting for the snow To hide the tears away Frozen desert white To camouflage the grey Waiting for the snow But tomorrow's still alive - If you're waiting for the snow You 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 lines When autumn turns to winter as it did so long ago She'll seal away that memory of waiting for the snow
