Snowing

(A song from 1992. Oddly enough, the impetus for writing this song was my recollection of an old, hand-written songlist from Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd that included a song called "Snowing"--of which I think there is no recording and of which, sadly, I have been unable to learn anything more. In the Spring of 1992 I decided to write a song called "Snowing" just to fill that gap for myself.)

"Snowing"

Greta do you want me? Tell me this
and I will be your faithful lover-
a face like yours could launch a thousand ships in me

I was in the wings when the world began-
never thought to darken heaven's door,
when the angels took their sides, I smiled and I walked away

it's snowing
it's snowing

I remember days in Eden's bliss,
and I knew Eve like no other
but I never felt like this till my eyes fell on you

so grace me with your smile, grace me with your touch,
grace me with your body if its not too much-
I'd spend an age chained to a rock
for just one night with you

it's snowing
it's snowing

bridge
Blessed, chill December afternoon-
surprised by joy, by joy again,
one word and my soul would be renewed
and let the world come flooding in

Greta do you want me? Tell me this
and I will be your faithful lover-
a face like yours could launch a thousand ships in me

I was in the wings when the world began-
never thought to darken heaven's door,
when the angels took their sides, I smiled and I walked away

it's snowing
it's snowing
