...and snow was falling
as to many was hidden
but properly we perceive snow just really
when it comes with thousands of flakes and
covers the territory in which we linger
at the moment with it's
all-transforming white
doesn't it this we
take notice of it, but it
burdens or pleases
us just for this short moment
in which it dances
from the sky
and falls to the ground and melts
snow is just like unborn life
it pleases or burdens us just for
the moment in which it so we say lives
maybe a human life is only a snow-flake
in the eternity of the universe which dies
before it see's the light of the earth or melts

Lyrics by Archibald Lampman
White are the far-off plains, and white
The fading forests grow;
the wind dies out along the height,
And denser still the snow,
A gathering weight on roof and tree,
Falls down scarce audibly.
The road before me smooths and fills
Apace, and all about
The fences dwindle, and the hills
Are blotted slowly out;
The naked trees loom spectrally
Into the dim white sky.
The meadows and far-sheeted streams
Lie still without a sound;
Like some soft minister of dreams
The snow-fall hoods me round;
In wood and water, earth and air,
A silence everywhere.
Save when at lonely intervals
Some farmer's sleigh, urged on,
With rustling runners and sharp bells,
Swings by me and is ghone;
Or from the empty waste I hear
A sound remote and clear;
The barking of a dog, or call
To cattle, sharply pealed,
Borne echoing from some wayside stall
Or barnyard far afield;
then all is silent and the snow falls
Settling soft and slow
The evening deepens and the grey
Folds closer earth and sky
The world seems shrouded, far away.
Its noises sleep, and I as secret as

People go dancing
In crowded rooms
My head is getting tired
Darkness looms
Children go cursing
At their only cause
Why won't it snow?
Like they said it would
What is it that they know?
That I really should
I check my look
In the mirror, it don't glow
My face is getting thinner
Darkness shows
Children go cursing
At their only cause
Why won't it snow?
Like they said it would
What is it that they know?
That I really should
Why won't it snow?
Like they said it would
What is it that they know?

all i want
is to step outside into the mist
with bare feet
underneath the other side of the sun
it will be
a ferry waiting there for me
to take me across
it merely holds one chair
i know i must loose you
mhm mmmhmhm
it's not that i have not got faith
mhm mmmhm
but i have got some stuff to do
and people who need seeing to aha
and i must build a world of snow
close your eyes
it will be less painful naturally
and you should know
that nothing ever stays the same
especially
all the things we build in snow
like
castles horses men and cities

Snow
I never count on yesterday
Because the past can also change
I'll never give myself away
Life is worthwhile on the edge
Words sound so hollow in the cold
Maybe she's forgotten all
I don't remember how
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
Signs never told me anything
Nothing I could know for sure
I never knew what she would bring
Or what I am to her today
My words...
Almost swallowed by the snow
Maybe she's forgotten all
I don't remember how
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down
Moments disappear like shame...like snow
She is the poison in my mind
The thorns in my head
She has no mountain to be climbed
No faults to regret
I never count on yesterday
Because the past may not exist
I'll never give myself away
When there's reason to resist
Words draped in crystals melt away
I don't remember how
I felt the night she came
Memories spin around
They flow
Don't want to let her down

If I go out in the morning snow
In my pajamas and my winter coat
And take from the house our darker thoughts
And take away the memory of loss
And if I drop them into the snow
Will we never find them anymore?
To see him
To see him happy
To see him
To see him happy
In the same field where we have stood
To see your brother fly away in spring
In a light blue and silver plane
Now the snow has covered everything.
I think we will be made clean like the snow
I think we will become new like the snow
To see him
To see him happy
To see him
To see him happy
Some winters are harder than others
We are going to take our cameras
And look through at black trees with empty arms
And sled tracks
Wandering as we are
To see him
To see him happy
To see him

[As sung in film (more or less):]
Snow, it won't be long before we'll all be there with snow
Snow, I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow
Snow, I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow
Snow, oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow
Where it's snowing
All winter through
That's where I want to be
Snowball throwing
That's what I'll do
How I'm longing to ski
Through the
Snow, those glist'ning houses that seem to be built of snow
Snow, oh, to see a mountain covered with a quilt of snow
What is Christmas with no snow
No white Christmas with no snow
Snow
I'll soon be there with snow
I'll wash my hair with snow
And with a spade of snow
I'll build a man that's made of snow
I'd love to stay up with you but I recommend a little shuteye
Go to sleep
And dream
Of snow, snow, snow, snow, snow

Contigo sufrio
Conmigo vivio
Y con tus mentiras
Llenastes su vida
De desilucion
No le hables de amor
Ya no sirve un perdon
Tu tiempo ha pasado
No vengas pidiendo
Una explicacion
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Eliel!)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
Y tu la hicistes llorar
Yo la hice mujer
yo soy tu hermano, no te quize ofender
Y aunque el tiempo pasa, hoy te toco perder
Y si en realidad tu quieres saber
Aqui fue usted quien fallo
Y a ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
Entonces dime que diablos le hicistes
Como pudistes, como tanto la heristes
Y aunque te duela que soy yo
De quien tu mujer se enamoro
Da la vuelta sin tu explicacion
Que a ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo

It starts with snow
Covering all that we know
Peace returns to this world below
Peace returns
Why sleep, through the winter
Are you afraid of living through the danger?
Let it snow
Let it hide our footsteps
Erasing the paths we've chosen
Forgetting the vices for which we've fallen
If only the sun could lie
And the snow never melt
Snow, freezing, burning my skin but healing the ground,
Calming it down, sleep, at last, rest for the months to come
Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Cold, it takes your breath away, freezing life around,
Stopping the time for a minute when the sun hides
When the sun will hide
Let it snow
Let it hide our footsteps
Erasing the paths we've chosen
Forgetting the vices for which we've fallen
If only the sun could lie

Doubts have vanished
All is clear
White, smooth, endless, outright, sheer
And I smile as I sink to the ground
Snow is falling down on me
I start crying blissfully
Lazy diamonds poured by heaven
Lie down on my red, hot cheeks
Drowsy drift ice
Live forever
I fall deeply into sleep
Doubts have vanished
All is clear
White, smooth, endless, outright, sheer

What's up man! Hey yo what's up!
Yeah what's goin' on here.
Sick an' tired of five-oh runnin' up on the block here.
You know what I'm sayin'?
Yo Snow, they came around here lookin' for you the
other day. Word? Word! Bust it!
[chorus]Informer, you no say Daddy me Snow me
I'll go blame,
A licky Boom Boom Down.
Detective mon said Daddy me Snow me stab someone down
the lane,
A licky Boom Boom Down.
Informer, you no say Daddy me Snow me I'll go blame,
A licky Boom Boom Down.
Detective mon said Daddy me Snow me stab someone down
the lane,
A licky Boom Boom Down.
Police them come an' now they blow down me door,
One him come crawl through, through my window,
So then they put me in the back the car at the station,
From that point on me reach my destination,
When the destination reached, it was the east
detention, where them
Whipped down me pants, looked up me bottom, so *
Bigger they are they think they have more power,
They're on the phone me say that on (every) hour,
Me for want to use it once an' now me call me lover,
Lover who I'll be callin is the one TAMMY,
an' me love her in me heart down to my belly,
Yes me Daddy me Snow me I feel cool an' deadly,
As the one MC Shan an' the one Daddy Snow,
Together we-a love'em as a Tor-Na-Do.[chorus]
Listen for me, you better listen for me now.
Listen for me, you better listen for me now.
When me rockin' the microphone me rock it steady,
Yes sir, Daddy me Snow me are the article don.
But in the in an' the out of a dance them they say
where you come from,
People them say you come from Jamaica,
But me born an' raised in the ghetto that's the one I
want you to know,
Pure black people mon that's all I mon know.
Yeah me shoes are tear up an' me toes used to show,
Where me born in on the one Toronto, so [chorus]
Come with a nice young lady. Intelligent,
Yes she's gentle an' irie.
Everywhere me go, me never left her at all.
Yes, its Daddy Snow me are the roam dance mon.
Roam between a dancin' in a in a nation-a.
You never know say Daddy me Snow me are the Boom
Shakata.
Me never lay-a down flat in that one cardboard box.
Yes say me Daddy me Snow me I'll go reachin' at the
top, soI [chorus]
Why would he?
Me sittin' 'round cool with my dibbie dibbie girl,
Police knock my door,
Lick up my pal,
Rough me up an' I can't do a thing
Pick up my line, when my telephone ring.
Take me to the station,
Black up my hands.
Trail me down, 'cuz I'm hangin' with the Snowman,
What I'm gonna do,
I'm backed an' I'm trapped,
Slap me in the face an' took all o' my gap.
They have no clues an' they wanna get warmer,

Washing away another shitty day
In the bathtub I lay, in my watered down decay
I try to scrub you away, but in my mind you stay
I see an image of your face and I feel so betrayed
Eating away at my skin, tearing away at my soul
If I were to live in your heart, I would find snow ain't as cold
You took my smile and turned it upside down
Casue you like me better when I'm wearing a frown
I hear your voice, it's a deafening sound
And I found your love for me 6 feet underground
Eating away at my skin, tearing away at my soul
If i were to live in your heart, I would find snow ain't as cold
Snow falls down from above, crushing me with the weight of a thousand sorrows
Tears frozen to my face, I try to break from the icy layer covering my body
But I find I am much to weak, I can't break free
The more i try to break free, the more I wanna stay enclosed in my artic despair
I've been frozen here for so long, I wouldn't know how to react to sunlight
I fear it would burn my skin, so I will lock myself in this wintery home of mine
And spend the rest of my life in the cold unfeeling sanctuary

We can redefine what it's like to lose, it's unbelievable
the way the collective mind moves.
You can feel the masses undeniable force, the heart
hardly matters in this golden year before us.
All the hardened faces all the ghostly eyes, everyone I
know is a slave for life.
When I prey to god for it to blow apart I would go to bed
with a broken heart
{ ha ha }
We can redefine what it's like to lose it's unbelievable
the way the collective mind moves.
If you free yourself you can't come back because this is
the drowning and the drowning is black

Say what? Say what? Say what? Say what?
You dunno when i'll fade out and turn into something
blanc,
I dunno when you'll collapse and become so deadly black
you know when it's time to wrap me,
you know when it's time to make me feel like a Nowhere
Queen,
you know when it's time to trap me...
i'll never ever guess when you'll come again
and spread yourself under my tired feet.
i know when it's time to touch you,
i know when it's time to fall into your silent arms,
i dunno the time you'll come
to mess up again with my bitter tears, with my deepest
fears...
don't leave me this time...
I've overcome my jealousy,
i've killed my malevolence today...
The taste so bitter, the feeling sweet
Cuz no-one can ever walk my way...
I knew that you'll come and obey
I knew that you'll come and be adored by the Nowhere
Queen,
I know when it's time to trap you...
You'll never ever guess, but return again.
I'll give me to you but you'll beg for more...
You dunno when i'll grow shallow,
You dunno when i'll fade out and turn into somethig
blanc...
But i'll try my best to find
out the bitter point when the passion dies, when it
blows our minds...
And then i'll be gone...
I've overcome my jealousy,
i've killed my malevolence today...
The taste so bitter, the feeling sweet
Cuz no-one can ever walk my way...
The snowflakes will dance around us
Just like they did a thousand years
Or a billion years ago.
And every time they touch us
Infinity will be close at hand
And everything else wont be worth anything...
I've overcome my jealousy,
i've killed my malevolence today...
The taste so bitter, the feeling sweet
Cuz no-one can ever walk my way...
Let the snowflakes fall from the heavens
let them glimmer like our every glance,
let them glow like our hearts in their infinite
dance...
Say what? (I tell you what)
You dunno when i'll fade out and turn into something
blanc,
I dunno when you'll collapse and become so deadly

Is there something I should know?
Something you won't tell me?
I can see it in your eyes,
There's nothing left for you to hide, my love.
Is there somewhere we can go?
Somewhere that we could speak?
If there is time, could we still find,
Piece of mind, some kind of love, my love?
But if you stay,
I know I'd throw it all away,
And if you go,
I know I'll find my way back home.
You say I give it all away,
Leave nothing to imagination,
Well it's all I know, although I know,
You don't want everything, my love.
But if you stay,
I know I'd throw it all away,
And if you go,
I know I'd find my way back home.
Stay,
Stay,
If you go,
If you go.
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should know?

Something cracked inside me
On that Wednesday afternoon
We'd been numb as silent snow
We'd seen nothing but the moon
Mocking all the writing
I'd been forcing on the page
I've been dormant for too long now
Like I've been in hibernation
But I love you, you know
It's just I discovered
There's a life beneath the snow
I knew it could never have worked from the outset
That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept
Spending every waking moment
That I could with you
Now I'm wondering what you're doing
And I'm wondering if I'd like to do it too
I wish I could hate you
That way I could just forget you
Be a single girl and show the world
That I can live without you
Found myself in clutches
Of a panic since the break
I need closure
Want to hold you
Do you think we could just fake
Pretend the thaw never came
And act like nothing had changed
I knew it could never have worked from the outset
That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept
Spending every moment wondering
Can I call you yet
Though I know this must something
That we both will have to learn to accept
Now our love has melted
To a torrid overflow
And the ground's all hard and barren
But I guess it's gonna take some time
To see something grow
Boy you'll be a long time ago
I knew it could never have worked from the outset
That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept
It's not like I want to leave you
Just I've got to go
And I'll always speak with fondness
