Snow - Sleep Lyrics

"Wait by the river."

"Something has changed.
Something is different,
I know.
Where have you gone?
It's getting dark.
Was I left behind?
You're far away!
Where have you gone?"

Fear.
Child hardened by snow.
Given up to the cold.

"Where have you gone?
It's getting dark."

"Follow along the riverbed.
You'll find her waiting there.
Breathe into your hands."

She yields to the ground.
White breath above
A quickly waking ghost.
She knows
this is the last moon.
This is the last time she'll lie awake
Screaming out. Asking forgiveness.
"Mother! Please come back!"

"Its her fault!"
"She did this to herself!"
