lyrics

It's snowing hard outside: I looked outside my window
I guess I'm not quite sure what I expected to see
The pines are laden down with their angelic burden
The icy virgin snow reminds me of you

Perhaps it is the frost and the promise that it holds
It always looks so soft, but it always ends up cold
Or the blindness that you get from the reflection that it gives
And I wish I had you here to have and to hold

Sometimes I touch the darkness in vain
Sometimes I try to look beyond the pain
I've found it helps to try and pass the blame
But still I miss you just the same

The fire's going out: it just can't fight the cold
The flicker of the flame grows dimmer by the hour
Although the fire's out, still the embers glow
Somehow the ashes' light reminds me of you

Perhaps it is the light they continue to leave
Or the warmth that they give or the magic that they weave
Or the time that it takes for the firelight to die
A smoldering ember, just like you and I

Sometimes I touch the darkness in vain
Sometimes I try to look beyond the pain
I've found it helps to try and pass the blame
But still I miss you just the same

The wind is growing strong: I can hear its ghostly howl
As it bangs against the window, pleading to get in
And the trees, though they struggle, bend to it's will
And the season's sultry whisper reminds me of you

Maybe it's the way it caresses the air
And with its subtle methods reminds you that it's there
Or maybe it's the way it makes changes to your day
And as quickly as it came, it swiftly goes away

Sometimes I touch the darkness in vain
Sometimes I try to look beyond the pain
I've found it helps to try and pass the blame
But still I miss you just the same

It's snowing hard outside: I looked outside my window
I guess I'm not quite sure what I expected to see…
