TEN INCHES OF SNOW song lyrics
by Joel Sattler
ten inches of snow
lie on the ground
the whole world is cold
the lost is unfound
I can't see my breath
my eyes are frozen shut
I'm freezing to death
my blood's turned to mud
thought it was pretty
when I still could see
ten inches of snow
but now it grieves me
ten inches of snow
the roads are a mess
nobody can go
send out an S.O.S.
there's nothing in the fridge
nothing on the shelf
no joe on the stove
I'm here by myself
I thought it was pretty
when I still could see
ten inches of snow
now it grieves me
(ten inches of snow baby)
she left in the day
and she took the car
had nothing to say
and I took it hard
and then the flakes
fell out of the sky
until the fall
it was ten inches high
I thought it was pretty
when I still could see
ten inches of snow
baby now it grieves me
(ten inches of snow baby)
(ten inches of snow baby)
now I'm alone
how small the world has grown
outside it may be white
that doesn't make things right
ten inches of snow
and I can't even think
will there never be
another spring
thought it was pretty
when I still could see
ten inches of snow
but baby now it grieves me
(ten inches of snow baby)
(ten inches of snow baby)
This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses
the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given
day.
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
