Snow Glowed

from Familiar Failure by Conductors

lyrics

I saw you walking through the snow,
but there were no footprints in the snow.
There's always human shapes and shadows in the night,
but they never move like you do.

Shadowed, at first, I thought you had no clothes,
then I remembered the cold.
All my breath covered you with frost,
when I cleared the window I thought you'd be lost.

Half out hanging low in the sky,
the moon blended with the streetlight's shine.
All the air gilded around you
showed me you bright but obscure.

You exhaled bleeding color in the air.
In foggy focus I couldn't focus anywhere.
There was no sound anywhere around.
I don't think I could hear you if you called out.

I know you can get lost
only miles from your house.
Wandering back and forth
I wonder what you're looking for.
Don't you want to be found?

Sure rooms from outside windows
look small and pitiful,
then you remember
you are strange and foreign too.

Outside seems quite familiar.
At night you might forget there's a town.
Don't you want to be found?

Without other people it would only be
dark and cold all around.

I saw you walking through the snow,
but there were no footsteps anywhere in the snow.
Next morning, there were deer prints on the ground.
There were wolf tracks in my garden.


They all start and stop at strange spots
criss cross, criss cross without thought.
Late at night there must've been some rabbits running around,
but, again, you were nowhere to be found.

In the night you never leave my sight.
In the night it only seems you are alone
coz I've got so many windows.
My body gets real, real warm late at night
when I'm real, real tired and don't think quite right.
I see doors open, I see doors close
with no one around, nobody close.

How is it that you're outside haloed
while I'm stuck inside, too hot,
catching my eye in the window
looking back at me hungrily?
I can always see your breath
I can see you are defying death.

I saw you walking through the snow,
I don't see my footprints anywhere in the snow.

"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' " ... more
