Waiting for Snow
 ESL - February, 2006 - NYC
 
 Here I am - standing by my window looking for snow
 Here I am - melancholy grips me, there's no place I'd rather go
 Yes, here I am - looking out my window - waiting for snow
 And here I am - there's so many things that I just wish I didn't know.
 
 Just earlier today, the weatherman called for snow
 I was looking through my desk, for what I just don't know
 My eyes were caught, by this little band of gold,
 And now it's on my windowsill, it's stories yet untold.
 
 White blanket from above, will cover all with purity
 The dirt, the lies, the cheating, and the notorious infamy.
 Is there anyone up there, one who a sign is gonna give
 Point me in some direction, and show me how to live
 
 I remember the first time, this ring embraced my finger,
 I had a feeling of euphoria - and I - forever - wanted it to linger.
 Alas, the wish I made, was only wished in vain,
 One day, I had to take it off, 'cause it was causing only pain.
 
 For a long and twisted time, I wanted you to go away,
 I did not think that where you'll go, you will forever stay
 And all I want today, is the blessing of the snow
 To cover you and keep you warm my love, in that last place you'll ever go.
 
 (So) here I am - standing by my window looking for snow
 Here I am - melancholy grips me, there's no place I'd rather go
 Yes, here I am - looking out my window - waiting for snow
 And here I am - there's so many things that I just wish I didn't know.
