lyrics

FRESHLY FALLEN SNOW

You know how much we cling to love
You know how much we love to cling
How much we love to fall in love
How much we need the very thing
That promises only defeat
That promises only the spin
Of battle we so love to fight
That battle we can never win

You know how we all play too fast
As if we all have always known
The first caress is soon the last
Then once again we stand alone
You know how much with every stride
We change our loves from snow to mud
With life with hope with fear with pride
The weakness that is flesh and blood

(Chorus)
But you know how much men love to walk
On freshly fallen snow
And you know how much men all rush in
Before they even know
The names of those whose gentle smiles
Like rarest flowers grow
On freshly fallen snow
A tale as old as time
A cafe in a city
A young girl turns to go
A young boy smiles uncertain
The backing singers sing
La la la la la
On the radio

Is love so easy to pretend
And if it isn’t do we care
Don’t we just go from friend to friend
Don’t we just go from here to there
Don’t we just take what we can get
Until those hours of need have passed
Then walk away with our regret
Down to the bottom of a glass

(Chorus)
