lyrics

STILL THE SNOW FALLS

Woods whisper like cathedrals
Of Gods from days gone by
With their gargoyles made of eagles
And their rafters made of sky

And the snow falls like lace
On the shoulders and face
Of a bride who waits to no avail
And the hedgerows and lanes
Run like mascara stains
That stain her cheek beneath the frozen veil

And people lose their way
On paths that once they trod
Some people turn to drinking
Some people turn to God
But the devil needs his shoes
Makes no difference where he's shod
Still the snow falls
Still the snow falls

Wind whips along the old dyke
Smoke struggles from the stacks
Cold trees twist their aching limbs like
Lovers dipped in candlewax

And the saints shed their blood
In the windows of God
And the drunks curse and sing the hours by
And the snow breaks the fall
Of the chimneys and walls
As they fall up to meet the falling sky

And lovers cling to strangers
Like mourners in their grief
'I lost a child once' she says
But he's already  gone to sleep
Oh you can long for dying
Makes no difference where you sleep
Still the snow falls
Still the snow falls

And what did summer tell you
That you didn't know before?
That paths of glory crumble?
That dreams are made of straw?
Oh you were pretty once
Makes no difference anymore
Still the snow falls
Still the snow falls
