White As Snow

Where I came from were no hills at all

The land was flat, the highway straight and wide

My brother and I, we'd drive for hours, like we'd years instead of days

Our faces as pale as the dirty snowOnce I knew there was a love divine

Then came a time I thought it knew me not

Who can forgive forgiveness when forgiveness is not?

Only the land as white as snowAnd the water it was icy

As it washed over me

And the moon shined above me

Now this dry ground it bears no fruit at all

Only poppies laugh under the crescent moon

The road refuses strangers

The land the seeds we sow

Where might we find the lamb as white as snowAs boys we would go hunting in the woods

To sleep, the night shun out the stars

Now the wolves are every passing stranger

Every face we cannot know
