in the dream countries you turned to go
and everyone's heart filled up with snow
everyone's heart filled up with snow
like flower cupped trees in a wintry april
as in a story by Conrad Aiken
till silent snow became the stars
with everyone looking for where you are
in the jewel box tiny and stunning ballet
or why does it always seem this way
in the dream countries when you turn to go
and everyone's heart fills up with snow.
