I can see by the redness in your eyes that you've been crying
and you can't seem to find your way home.
There's a look upon your soul as if a part of you is dying
from the years stuck in the snow.
And your head is full of visions
of the life you used to know.
you've slowly lost all your convictions
your body and your soul.
In the evening when you go to see the band down in the bar
and you make yourself up all dressed to kill
and you know that as you enter all the eyes are on you from afar
and you wonder whose bed you're going to fill.
And you smile as it takes you
but you don't seem to get very high
and the sun burns your eyes as it wakes you
Softly good-bye, I can hear your cries in the night
when you're stuck in the snow.
When you're dancing in the darkness with your one and only lover
but still you're feeling all alone
with a mirror and a dollar bill you know that there's no other
as you make sweet love to your coke.
And you smile as it takes you
but you don't seem to get very high
and the sun burns your eyes as it wakes you
Softly good-bye, I can hear your cries in the night
when you're stuck in the snow.
I can see by the redness in your eyes that you've been crying
and you can't seem to find your way home.
There's a look upon your soul as if a part of you is dying
from the years stuck in the snow.
