Rain and Snow

I kicked the empty bottles on my way out that door
I blinked at the low sun with my head mighty sore
I felt the winter wind and I saw the black clouds full of Rain and Snow

I looked over my prairie, the weeds flying through the air
The dust stung my skin but I didn't really care
I felt the winter wind and I saw the black clouds full of Rain and Snow

I remember the day you left and how sun hung in the sky
You told me of my weaknesses and you even made me cry
You put your things into a bag and you wrapped that pretty shawl
Around your shoulders and said you won't be back no more

I walked along that picket fence that's no longer so white
The grass is overgrown and nothing here looks right
I felt the winter wind and I saw the black clouds full of Rain and Snow

The ground is uneven where I carved out your name
On a small wooden cross that sits above your grave
I felt the winter wind and I saw the black clouds full of Rain and Snow

I remember the day you left and how sun hung in the sky
You told me of my weaknesses and you even made me cry
You put your things into a bag and you wrapped that pretty shawl
Around your shoulders and said you won't be back no more

Then the fury took over and I felt myself change
From a man full of love to a man full of rage
I felt the winter wind and I saw the black clouds full of Rain and Snow

I aimed my pistol at the back of your head
I pulled the trigger and I watched you fall dead
I felt the winter wind and I saw the black clouds full of Rain and Snow
I felt the winter wind and I saw the black clouds full of Rain and Snow
I felt the winter wind and I saw the black clouds full of Rain and Snow
