Blizzard of '78

Fixing an eye on the hopeful
 In a heartless room you'll be done soon
 The snow is falling down
 And the whole damn town is covered with white
 It's obvious that trust is the catch and the magnet
 That could pull you through this braille night
 Where nothing's free and you just can't see
 How to sacrifice what you need to be
 You can't shake this silence still
 In your heart you're just not there
 You're a thousand miles from here
 You just want to disappear
 Winter went out with a whimper
 Such a lonely sound to try to get around
 Imagine yourself as a little kid
 In your parents arms and then it's gone
 You step to the mic almost petrified
 'cause everything you feel is in your eyes
 You cannot hide but you're haunted
 By the early frost
 By the ones you've lost
 Beauty shines so bright
 Vanishes from sight
 Wrap yourself in the night
 Love with all your might
 You can't shake this silence still
 In your heart you're just not there
 You're a thousand miles from here
 You just want to disappear
 You're a thousand miles away
 You're a thousand miles away
 You're a thousand miles away
 You're a thousand miles away
