[Intro] (First snow... first snow...) [Verse 1] The trees are bare, the lamps come on, The paths go white beneath my boots. A line of chalk, a hollow brick, And no one here to ask me who. [Pre-Chorus] An old man sweeps, he doesn't look, He only says, "Be careful." [Chorus] Gorky Park, first snow, Every footprint says where I go. Gorky Park, first snow, Cover me up, don't let them know. [Verse 2] A tiny note in tiny hand, Folded small as I can fold. I slide it in behind the bench, My fingers burning in the cold. [Pre-Chorus] An old man sweeps, he doesn't look, He only says, "Be careful." [Chorus] Gorky Park, first snow, Every footprint says where I go. Gorky Park, first snow, Cover me up, don't let them know. [Bridge] Home again, the kitchen light, Lena holds the chalk up high. One question, one too many, And a grey hat passing by. [Final Chorus] Gorky Park, first snow, Every footprint says where I go. Gorky Park, first snow, Cover her up, don't let them know. [Outro] (First snow... cover her up...) [End]
