Genesis, lyrics
Mike Rutherford, composer
Lay your body down upon the midnight snow,
Feel the cold of winter in your hair
Here in a world of your own,
In a casing that's grown
To a children's delight
That arrived overnight.
And here they come to play their magic games
Carving names upon your frozen hand.
Here in a world of your own,
Like a sleeper whose eyes
Sees the pain with surprise
As it smothers your cries
They'll never never know.
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey, Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, Ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Smiling faces tear your body to the ground
Covered red that only we can see.
Here in a ball that they made
From the snow on the ground,
See it rolling away
Wild eyes to the sky
They'll never, never know.
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, Ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Hey there goes the Snowman
Hey there what a Snowman
Hey there lies the Snowman
Hey he was a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Dear Dixie,
ReplyDeleteAn incredible song with incredible lyrics.
The album it comes from 'And Then There Were Three' by Genesis (1978) is one of the most emotive and beautifully haunting albums I have ever heard.
It make me reflect, it inspires me, indeed, it transports me back to my carefree days of the late 70's.
Thanks for sharing this, Dixie.
Warm wishes, Gary x
Dear Gary,
ReplyDeleteI felt a similar, "walk down memory lane," when I noticed you'd posted a link to it on Facebook. So my thanks to you as well.
In peace, Dixie x
