Lyrics
Third floor window, the screen gone dim The first snow turns the street to grey It lands and shivers, it will not stay It melts before it finds the ground My first month here, I count the days Nobody knows my coffee yet The flakes come down like unsent words And vanish on the cold wet street Flakes against the office glass Falling soft and gone so fast Maybe things that never settle Still leave something as they pass Flakes against the office glass Falling soft and gone so fast Someone leaves a cup by my desk A note that says, you're doing fine I didn't ask, I didn't tell But kindness lands and does not melt Maybe I am snow in this tall city Light and new and passing through But I can feel the ground beneath me Slowly learning me, too Flakes against the office glass Falling soft and gone so fast Maybe things that never settle Still leave something as they pass Flakes against the office glass Falling soft and gone so fast The window clears, the lamps come on And I am here, and I belong
