Snowglobe Lyrics

We tried reciting all the songs we'd sung

Before we got so overhung

We put our clothes on and we left your house

You said I'd always be your little mouse

Well I guess I never heard a word

Distracted by that single bird

Black and white with just a hint of blue

We headed north along the avenue

The rumble of the traffic shook the trees

And the branches scattered snow around our knees

And our cherry reds

I'll spend these days with you


We'll try and see it through

'Til someone knocks the snow globe from the stand

One sunny day

We'll walk away

Rivers never crossed

Glaciated moss

Of a winter wonderland

I heard it's raining in Pompeii

And that's how it's gonna stay

You wanted Christmas every day

Behind her painted smile

My lily of the Nile

I'll spend this time with you

We'll try and talk it through

'Til someone knocks the snow globe from the stand

Or finds that fabled tree

That once belonged to you and me

And when it comes our turn

Ashes in the urn

Shaken by God's hand

In a winter wonderland
