THE SNOW IS FALLING SILENT lyrics

the snow is falling silent
as silent as a ghost
the crystals sting in my skin
like a whipping post

the night is closing overhead
the white is piling up against the trees
and when the morning comes at last
everything will freeze

so the world must stop tomorrow
and retrace all its sorrows
the birds will huddle quiet
and only leaves will fly

the snow is made of frozen tears
from an ancient sky
there is no use to give in to fear
and no reason why

the seasons roll around and round
rain and sunshine falling down
but snow will fall without a sound
until the world is drowned

the promises of summer
are in each year gone by
and laughing girls are runners
who always have to lie

but still a lie is better than
without a love because
because without love
you can be only half a man

the snow is falling silent
as silent as my dreams
and what will pass before me
is never what it seems

but still I stay afloat
and trust that when I wake
I will wake with a heart
that's still full of hope
