Over the Rhine - Snow Angel lyrics

Once upon a winter It seems so long ago My one and only love and I Fell down upon the snow And as the dusk was falling From our gray and goose down sky We heard the old cathedral bells Ring out our lullaby Snow angel, snow angel Someday I'm gonna fly This cold and broken heart of mine Will one day wave goodbye Goodbye to this cruel wicked world And all the tears I've cried Snow angel, snow angel I'll meet you in the sky The rumors of a distant war Called my true love's name He packed his leather suitcase And spoke no word of blame We walked awhile together I tried to hide my fear He told me not to be afraid And whispered in my ear Snow angel, snow angel Someday I'm gonna fly This cold and broken heart of mine Will one day wave goodbye Goodbye to this cruel wicked world And all the tears I've cried Snow angel, snow angel I'll meet you in the sky They brought my love home from the war In a cart pulled by white mules The Christmas bells rang out that day Oblivious as fools And as the snow began to fall I kissed his frozen face They told me in his woolen coat His last few words were placed Snow angel, snow angel Someday I'm gonna fly This cold and broken heart of mine Will one day wave goodbye Goodbye to this cruel wicked world And all the tears I've cried Snow angel, snow angel I'll meet you in the sky
