Lyrics

We tried reciting all the songs we'd sung
Before we got so overhung
We put our clothes on and we left your house
You said I'd always be your little mouse
Well I guess I never heard a word
Distracted by that single bird
Black and white with just a hint of blue
We headed north along the avenue
The rumble of the traffic shook the trees
And the branches scattered snow around our knees
And our cherry reds

I'll spend these days with you

We'll try and see it through
'Til someone knocks the snow globe from the stand
One sunny day
We'll walk away
Rivers never crossed
Glaciated moss
Of a winter wonderland

I heard it's raining in Pompeii
And that's how it's gonna stay
You wanted Christmas every day
Behind her painted smile
My lily of the Nile

I'll spend this time with you
We'll try and talk it through
'Til someone knocks the snow globe from the stand
Or finds that fabled tree
That once belonged to you and me
And when it comes our turn
Ashes in the urn
Shaken by God's hand
In a winter wonderland
