Snow

The Staves

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 okay 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 this silent snow
That fell overnight and won't let me go
Oh, I know that the shame is mine
And the blame is mine to bear

Well I don't think and I don't feel
A cold chill doesn't break 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
Would it give you peace as I leave you behind?

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

Oh I will never belong, belong to anyone
Oh I will never belong, belong to anyone

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