Out in the Snow

Lyrics

I walked out in the snow And left no mark upon the ground I trod The sky, heavy and low The exhalation of an Arctic god And I heard words meant for no one In the air,words out of nowhere And I saw all at once at my feet Unexpectedly, a shadow play I broke off on a floe And drifted aimlessly a hundred miles The wind, beginning to blow Carried me forward on this boat of ice And I saw things half imagined Far away, pictures and pageants That were lost in a moment like words From a langauge that I never knew And this voyage seemed to be haunted By a soul, lost and unwanted Destined to journey through time Always covered in a coat of white I walked out in the snow Never knowing what I came here for A dream from so long ago But we don't talk about it anymore
