Child of Snow

Gone are the days when we were innocent and white
 Picture of stars replaced by rows of city lights
 Now if you look beyond the window sill
 Deep within the pines
 Out in the cold, I lie, I lie
 ♪
 Gone are the songs we sang of who we'd all become
 Much like the lullabies we faded one by one
 Now if you look beneath the floor of ice
 Frozen overnight
 Hollow and still, there lies our lives
 You were saying, you were saying
 All of us are growing up
 I was waiting, I was waiting
 Never got to see the morning sun
 Ha
 ♪
 Gone is the house where we made memories of snow
 Now all the kids are gone and trees have overgrown
 Under the shelter of an empty swing
 Sits a book of mine
 Scribbles and sketches of our time
 A fairy tale recounting life
 You were saying, you were saying
 All of us are growing up
 I was waiting, I was waiting
 Winter ended so abrupt
 Ha, ha, ha
 What I would give for one more day-ay-ay
 ♪
 Here comes the sun, spring has arrived
 The ice starts to thaw, no clouds in the sky
 But something feels odd
 Did someone near me escape my memory?
 The children will sing a beautiful song
 Of when they grow up and all move along
 The lyrics recall a scene from the story
 That I have never seen (you're lost in thoughts but no one comes to mind)
 The flowers in bloom, the birds have returned
 And in our old house, the fire still burns
 Where have I seen (somebody hear me)
 This puddle before me through the ice?
 You were saying, you were saying
 All the world is growing up
 I was waiting, I was waiting
 Winter ended so abrupt
 Ha, ha, ha
 What I would give for one more day-ay-ay
 And I, I, I
 Quickly before I melt away-ay-ay
