"Snow" lyrics

"Snow"

I am weak and I am selfish
You are but a guest in my heart
Welcome for now
But soon must depart
You're a Catherine Wheel
Spinning its last

You'd speed past the hedgerows
I'd ask if it's OK if I smoke
You'd say it doesn't bother you
And you'd smile as I spoke
You're a little child
Losing his hope

And in the trappings of the silent snow
That fell overnight and won't let me go
Oh I know that the shame is mine
And the blame is my own to bear

Well I don't think and I don't feel
A cold chill doesn't grip me yet
My chest is half empty
My mind a blank cassette
Tomorrow seems a dark distant threat

And if I knew what had pushed you
So far from my heart or my mind
Well would it give you comfort
Or strength of some kind
And would it give you peace
As I leave you behind

And in the trappings of the silent snow
That fell overnight
And won't let me go
Oh I know that the shame is mine
And the blame is my own to bear

Oh
Oh I will never belong
Belong to anyone
Oh I will never belong
Belong to anyone
Belong to anyone
Belong to anyone

And in the trappings of the silent snow
That fell overnight
And won't let me go
Oh I know that the shame is mine
And the blame is my own to bear
