"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

And I'm already missing the summer
Stockholm's cold but I've been told

I was standing looking backwards in the outs

No movement here no friends to break us out

Adrianne Lenker - "Indiana" Daddy wanted me to leave it
Indiana, Indiana in the cold
Said "you know you really don't need it
Leave the fame for the road"
I remember when I was leaving
I was only six years old
Oh how my heart...
This Is The Kit - "Moonshine Freeze" As the change sets in, we are separate
As the game begins, we are separate
Some string slackening, others giving in, change sets in
Cycles of three, triangles are tricky
Cycles of three, triangles...
Jade Bird - "Something American" We knew each other when we were very young
High school sweethearts, or something American
Now we've become older I only see photos
She's what I thought, something American
Something American
But you...
