lyrics

Snowflakes

The wedding cake was cut into a hundred pieces
And passed around the banquet hall on beautiful white plates
Someone talked about their job and the money they were making
Someone placed a bet on a college football game

I asked you for a dance, the mist was slowly rising
From a magical lagoon in the dream I always have
We spin around the floor, silver falling from the ceiling
As beautiful as snowflakes that freeze against the glass

When you reached for my hand, I pulled your body closer
I felt the smooth of your back and the movement of your hips
Like the snowflakes I was frozen, never to grow older
I felt the stirring of your soul in our silent kiss

A kiss behind the dark, sheltered by the curtain
We begin to search together for the reasons that we find
With every gentle touch, the only thing of which I’m certain
Is another little death, another sacred breath of life
