Laura Veirs - Snow camping lyrics

rate me

I saw the violet turn to night

I saw the water turn to ice

A thousand snowflakes hovered ‘round me

The world aglow

I heard a distant songbird singing

A song the words i used to know

And as the melody went ringing

I felt my bones on the rocks below

The weighted trees of my only home

With brother sleeping right beside me

The blankets pulled up to his chin

The makeshift snow cave settled slightly

But held us in and sheltered us

Like mom and dad, they always helped us
