White as Snow Where I grew up there were no hills at all The land was flat, the highway straight and wide My brother and I, wed drive for hours, like wed years instead of days Our faces as pale as the dirty snow
Once I knew there was a love divine Then came a time I thought it knew me not Who can forgive forgiveness when forgiveness is not? Only the land as white as snow
And the water it was icy As it washed over me And the moon shined above me
Now this dry ground it bears no fruit at all
Only under a crescent moon
The road refuses strangers The land, the seeds we sew Where might we find a land as white as snow?
As boys we would go hunting in the wood To sleep, the night shun out the stars Now the wolves are every passing stranger Every face we cannot know For only a heart could be as white as snow For only a heart could be as white as snow
