The silent winter steals into the dawn
I saw the morning sun rise above the ocean
And she softly lit a flame in my empty heart
Aw… then she went away

She turned up the collar of her faded overcoat
And went downtown on a cold cloudy day
She was searching for a present to give her love
He can heal her loneliness
But he is like a refracting glimmer in the water
She can’t catch him

But when it’s time for snow to fall
I’m sure good things will come to you
I feel it, ah… I wish it would snow
Ah… I wish it would snow
