Snow That Wouldn't Stay
“Snow that touches the ground and flies away again. I couldn't decide if it was sad or beautiful, so I let it be both.”

Lyrics
Snow came down on the avenue Touched the ground and then it flew Gone to water in the lamplight glow Snow that never learned to stay Kids at the window with their hopeful eyes Wanting white to cover up the skies But the pavement keeps its dark and wet And the snow melts, but I don't forget Fall, little flake, fall on my sleeve Stay a moment, then you leave Nothing settles, nothing lasts But I loved you falling past Stood in the doorway, collar turned Watched the whole soft evening burn Down to puddles and a streetcar bell Funny how a thing can say farewell Fall, little flake, fall on my sleeve Stay a moment, then you leave Nothing settles, nothing lasts But I loved you falling past Maybe that's the gift of it Not the heap, just the little bit One cold kiss on a warm hand Enough to make a man understand Fall, little flake, fall on my sleeve Stay a moment, then you leave Nothing settles, nothing lasts But I loved you falling past Snow that wouldn't stay Snow that wouldn't stay
