In Snow

Lyrics

With the window sitting with you And with glass, with air to see with There I came with you to be with Asking if and ever were And with snow, with wet and moving There we brought the afternoon in Soon with gin we poured the ache down Soon we felt the air we moved with Now with snow and later raining We went out and moved the walking And in snow resumed the drifting Of the past that we'd been talking I was cold and you were raining I had stayed while you went leaving And the life that I was walking Turned to air, and then went dark You now mentioned all your leaving (now that afternoon had left us) And you rained with need and grieving For that staring boy you left I recalled the boy who saw you As you moved through girl, through bleeding And I mentioned movements boyward Where in snow we'd lain all needing We lie down, within this window And in snow, in rain and moving We give back our time it's longing Over field and snow and leaving
