Footsteps in the Snow

It happens oh so often

And still every single time

Hands are numbed,

Warmth succumbed,

Shivers down your spine

 

Like a beaten path

Footsteps in the snow

Scent of pine

Walk up mine

If I have one to show

 

My stories like Saint Nick

And yet you still believe

Words so cold

No hand to hold

Only born to deceive

 

I brought this on myself

Remember the summer heat

I changed it all

Brought snow fall

And the winter we repeat

 

Golden green to blackened white

We lose the glowing smile

But I can’t hide

If I’ve lied

It eats at me after a while

 

We all can see it come

Say goodbye to all your leaves

Frozen bark

Skies so dark

And I hide behind my sleeves

 

Somehow you’ve forgiven

And you bud at the sight of spring

But I still cry

Because another lie

Brings back the winters sting

 

 

I wish sunshine could stay

But how will I be true?

I have a feel

That if I’m real

Red will be the only hue

 

I need you and you need me

Through all the words and pain

I will pray

For the day

Where I at least bring back the rain

 

You never give up you always think

That maybe I will shift

Let down my guard

I try so hard

To give that special gift

 

If you asked I’d tell you what

I think you should give in

But I know you won’t

Cause I know you don’t

Neither I nor thou can win

 

I’ll be fake and you’ll be sad

The winter is here to stay

Flowers gone

Clouded dawns

Until like the snow we lay
