Alison Krauss & Union Station
Snow
I have a soul that's crying out
No longer will I roam
And I will die before I
Ever leave my home
I hear the breezes whispering
They say it's time to go
Now all I wish is a bitter wind
That only brings me snow
I can no longer feel the cold
Or the emptiness inside
And I have long since given up
On a place to hide
If this be my portion
Let it be forever so
Now all I wish is a bitter wind
That only brings me snow
Snow to cleanse a bitter wound
Snow to make it pure
Snow to clear my eyеs again
See the footprints sure
Along the path that liеs ahead
I see it rising now
Snow to warm a frozen heart
Cool a weary brow
The snow is softly falling
In answer to a prayer
I feel a fire in the empty place
That once was full of care
A secret told out in the cold
No one will ever know
And all I wish is a bitter wind
That only brings me snow
