Snow

I have a soul that's crying out

No longer will I roam

And I will die before I

Ever leave my home

I hear the breezes whispering

They say it's time to go

Now all I wish is a bitter wind

That only brings me snow

I can no longer feel the cold

Or the emptiness inside

And I have long since given up

On a place to hide

If this be my portion

Let it be forever so

Now all I wish is a bitter wind

That only brings me snow

Snow to cleanse a bitter wound

Snow to make it pure

Snow to clear my eyes again

See the footprints sure

Along the path that lies ahead

I see it rising now

Snow to warm a frozen heart

Cool a weary brow

The snow is softly falling

In answer to a prayer

I feel a fire in the empty place

That once was full of care

A secret told out in the cold

No one will ever know

And all I wish is a bitter wind

That only brings me snow
