Watching the Snow

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

It's been a long winter here in Michigan.

This song is #lyricsonly for the time being.

Lyrics

Verse One:

The icy flakes are tumbling
Gently from the sky
I’ve always found them beautiful
Albino butterflies
I check my phone to see if you’ve replied

Verse Two:

Crystalline and lovely
Tiny specks of white
Softly touch my skin
Unknowing of my plight
I check my phone to see if you’ve replied

Chorus:

I sit and watch the snow
It’s delicate and slow
And it’s cold, and it’s cold, and it’s cold
I’ve nowhere else to go
And so I watch the show
And it’s cold, and it’s cold, and it's cold

Verse Three:

Against the orange background
The flakes are faintly flying
The sun is slowly setting
The light listlessly dying
I check my phone to see if you’ve replied

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

The blanket hardly ever breaks
All of my mistakes
Are slowly covered up with flakes
I silently survey the scene
Innocent and clean
The world is peaceful and serene

[repeat chorus]

This is very beautiful and calming. The repeating "I check my phone to see if you’ve replied" line acts as sort of a grounding, humane touch. You manage to bring something very fragile into the picture with it.

Thanks for your kind comments on my first solo Fawm song Page 32 of This Book.
I really like the patient wintry images you paint in Watching the Snow. The human elements of phone checking and the covering over of mistakes, I find intriguing and so Im pulled in by the contrast. What type of music do you imagine for the lyrics?
