lyrics

She drops her white summer dress to the floor
the lights go out, the cars spin and crash
everything is a quiet audience
to the snowflakes
kissing the snowflakes from the branch.

It all looks dead,
Except for the concrete monsters
with a million brilliant eyes
keeping close vigil
with the same view as the moon
floating silently by.

There's a god here
Swelling in my chest.
I want to scream your name
and put an ocean to rest.

And the minds of bundled children
grow as thick as the snow is deep
as they tunnel through white jungles
that grew while they were asleep

A city under snow,
in a city under snow
there is a god here
swelling in my chest.
A city under snow
swelling in my chest.

Sometimes mellow and bittersweet; a songbird at your window sill and at other times a thunderous full-throated roar of emotive stomping and hollering like a wild preacher of the end-times!
