Snow White

Snow White

The ice is getting thin
I straddle the edge of the snowy white skin
A knock on the door, inviting you in
To which you reply "never again"

Now lilies struggle on a hill
The long coat of summer is fading and still
Birds come to flutter and beat on the sill
To rest on the roof of the cottage we built

Don't go much further I think there are things
This girl would rather not know
A red rose is blooming a hummingbird sings
Under the virgin white snow

A heart beats in the black
A night full of stars I am peeling them back
Back to a page I read in a book
Back to the heart of the boar he took

Don't go much further I think there are things
This girl would rather not know
A red rose is blooming a hummingbird sings
Under the virgin white snow

Here is the sweet river Rhone
Where the sound slips alone
Through the mud and the stone

Deadly, where nothing gets in
Blind as blind as the skin
On the eye of a stone
Hardly home

Snow is falling down
You open your eyes take a good look around
You run through the woods, you come to a town
Where you ask for a bed and they turn you down

Don't go much further I think there are things
This girl would rather not know
A red rose is blooming a hummingbird sings
Under the virgin white snow
