It's Snowing

Mirror, mirror, I confess, life's brought me sorrow I never guessed. I put it off until tomorrow, buried it under last year's tears. There's no fear. Cold winter here. As far as the eyes can see, it's snowing, dear, dear, dear, it's snowing.it's snowing, dear, dear, dear, it's snowing. For a day I want to be a melody sweet, sung in a hall of warm wood by voices of people who have only spoken of good things. For today I want to be a cloud, riding the sky like the sheeted veils of the north that draws loose cold, icy airs of winter's kisses. For today, I want to circle the earth as a mama hawk teaching first flights to her fledglings by the sea. Riding coastal air currents, high and surging with my babes as we bob and fly, laughing with glee. For today I want the beginning breath that we shared when you met me. Before everything changed. Rearranged me. Became me. Mirror, mirror, I confess, life's brought me sorrow I never guessed. I put it off until tomorrow, buried it under last year's tears. There's no fear. Cold winter here. As far as the eyes can see, it's snowing, dear, dear, dear, it's snowing. it's snowing, dear, dear, dear, it's snowing. Come down to the show, it's a lot, I know (I know, I know, I know) Things are changing now, so you don't notice, but look, there you go (everything changes) Hard-won time, it's not a sentence though (I gotta know) what it is (you gonna make it so) but it's so damn hard pushing through this cold every day, I gotta say. Where did you go? (Go, go, go) Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (hey, yeah) it's snowing, dear, dear, dear, it's snowing.it's snowing, dear, dear, dear, it's snowing. I don't need no help to get away. I'm treading snow day after day. Looking in my mirror,it's snowing, dear, dear, dear, it's snowing.it's snowing, dear, dear, dear, it's snowing. watching flakes fall, seize my day. The coldness fits me until I'm ready. You never notice 'cause you're on with things, another life. You already left me footprints in the snow a long, long time ago. I'll leave when I'm ready, so. There's no timer, there's no show. I'll go when I wanna go. Those footprints are old, you know. You left me long ago.
