diamonds in the snow
For the smiles that you give me,
Thoughts you leave unsaid,
Times your touch saves me,
I want to hear the truth that can’t be said.
Please tell me, I’m listening.
Say it so I will know.
Tell me all about the glistening.
Say who put diamonds in the snow.
Tell me; go ahead, I’m yearning.
Say who makes it glow.
Tell me all about the burning.
Say who put fire in the snow.
For your truths that have no names,
Your heartbeat I feel in the air,
Your pictures that pour out of their frames,
Your peace that takes me everywhere.
For the times you stop the earth moving,
Times your goodbye is your hello,
Times there is nothing to be proving,
There is only one thing I want to know.
Please tell me, I’m listening.
Say it so I will know.
Tell me all about the glistening.
Say who put diamonds in the snow.
Tell me; go ahead, I’m yearning.
Say who makes it glow.
Tell me all about the burning.
Say who put fire in the snow.
For your questions that need no answers,
Your laughter that catches the wind,
Your stillness that sways like dancers
In the moment they begin.
For your cherry orchard petals
That you float upon the dead
So their eyes see the image that will
Speak the truth that can’t be said.
Please tell me, I’m listening.
Say it so I will know.
Tell me all about the glistening.
Say who put diamonds in the snow.
Tell me; go ahead, I’m yearning.
Say who makes it glow.
Tell me all about the burning.
Say who put fire in the snow.
Virgin snow lies all around me,
Married to the great mystery.
Please let the sound surround me,
The one that called forth symmetry.
Please tell me, I’m listening.
Say it so I will know.
Tell me all about the glistening.
Say who put diamonds in the snow.
Tell me; go ahead, I’m yearning.
Say who makes it glow.
Tell me all about the burning.
Say who put fire in the snow.
