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
