lyrics

THE WEIGHT OF SNOW


Thin ice on the river,
and thin veins of that ice,
like strings tuned sharp to breaking points,
maybe I didn't really try.


And maybe I waited,
and maybe I didn't,
maybe I waited around.
On time I could not borrow,
did not have,
or have never found.
For you, I'll wait around.


Up there, see up there the stars
who lay around all day in beds,
bright and early canopies,
friends of friend I never met.
One little fish to another fish
of whom he was too fond,
said I fit the shape of my containers,
maybe we should get ourselves a pond.


And maybe I waited,
and maybe I didn't,
maybe I waited around.
On time I could not borrow,
did not have,
or have never found.
For you, I'll wait around.


The cedar falls by weight of snow,
maybe you were too hot to hold.


And maybe I'll wait around.
And maybe I'll wait around.
