Dirty Snow For The Broken Ground - The Gentle Waves

At the party what was happening

With the colour that was dazzling

And the passport smiles making everything worthwhile

Shining offering a show

They can have their fame and holidays

I will try to think of other ways

What is bad I know and the good is hard to show

But I’m hoping for a time

We could dream about a pretty place

You could stare into a stranger’s face

All in awe of her charm, then whisper false alarm

Still they kick around the town

But if not for you

Then I mightn’t do the things I wanted to

And if not for me…

Wait and see, wait and see…

I will not be proud of jewellery

But it’s okay you can visit me

On the steps of my door, tell the truth and nothing more

Magic over broken ground

But my doorstep has seen better days

People stay away it’s out of place

'Cos it’s all gone wrong to be truthful as a song

Footsteps dirty in the snow
