Snow - The Staves

I am weak and I am selfish

You are but a guest in my heart

Welcome for now

But soon must depart

You’re a Catherine Wheel

Spinning its last

You’d speed past the hedgerows

I’d ask if it’s ok if I smoke

You’d say it doesn’t bother you

And you’d smile as I spoke

You’re a little child

Losing his hope

And in the trappings of the silent snow

That fell over night

And won’t let me go

Oh I know that the shame is mine

And the blame is my own to bear

Well I don’t think and I don’t feel

A cold chill doesn’t grip me yet

My chest is half empty

My mind a blank cassette

Tomorrow seems a dark distant threat

And if I knew what had pushed you

So far from my heart or my mind

Well would it give you comfort

Or strength of some kind

And would it give you peace

As I leave you behind

And in the trappings of the silent snow

That fell over night

And won’t let me go

Oh I know that the shame is mine

And the blame is my own to bear

Oh I will never belong

Belong to anyone

Oh I will never belong

Belong to anyone

Belong to anyone

Belong to anyone

And in the trappings of the silent snow

That fell over night

And won’t let me go

Oh I know that the shame is mine

And the blame is my own to bear
