Ida - Blizzard of '78 lyrics

Fixing an eye on the hopeful In a heartless room you'll be done soon The snow is falling down And the whole damn town is covered with white It's obvious that trust is the catch and the magnet That could pull you through this braille night Where nothing's free and you just can't see How to sacrifice what you need to be You can't shake this silence still In your heart you're just not there You're a thousand miles from here You just want to disappear Winter went out with a whimper Such a lonely sound to try to get around Imagine yourself as a little kid In your parents arms and then it's gone You step to the mic almost petrified 'cause everything you feel is in your eyes You cannot hide but you're haunted By the early frost By the ones you've lost Beauty shines so bright Vanishes from sight Wrap yourself in the night Love with all your might You can't shake this silence still In your heart you're just not there You're a thousand miles from here You just want to disappear You're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away
