lyrics

Oooh as in winter
When night is long
So happy in my solitude and song
Like fishing diamonds
From a frozen pond
I may never leave
This house in the meadow
‘Neath the starred soot sky
Could be my home forever—but no
Will never be
Was not meant to be

Wind through the pine tree limbs
It’s a song—never the same, I love
again and again
It will carry me over the fields sheltered in snow’s embrace
In this field a fire
I will light then blow
Chase the embers laughing
Through melting snow

Do you see me dancing
Do you see, do you see, do you see me dance
Do you see me now
Well it’s me I’m dancing
Wanna see, wanna see, wanna see me dance
In the fire’s glow
Look at me dancing
Can you see, can you see, can you see me dance

Can you see me now
When you see me dancing
If you see, if you see, if you see me dance
Miss me as in winter, then go

Dance
At the edge of the wood
Round of flames
Dance the flames
Melting snow At the edge of the wood
Each falling crystal
Face A clear Memory
Face Of you
Face of you
Of you Do you see
Flecks of light signal light
from the edge of the wood
Infinite reflection
You move into the crowd
Under the moon
You look translucent
I might not know you were there
except for the shadow around you
At the edge of the wood

Dance
The flames
Melting
Light signals at the edge of the wood
So clear
Take shape Each falling crystal
waiting
an Echo the memory
for someone
the original
echo so clear so bright
under the moon the edge of the wood takes shape
but you stepped out into the crowd
you moved through the crowd
and no one seemed to see you
as if you were floating
you looked translucent
take shape
I might not know you were there except
for the shadow around you
I stood watching
Each falling crystal
Echo So clear
You looked around
The flame, dance of flames
Melting
As if you were waiting
I see you standing
At the edge
Transparent as if you really don’t…
Waiting
I might not know you were there except for the shadow around you
For someone You look translucent
Except for the shadow around you
You move through the crowd as if you were floating
Ashen snow at your feet
as if you were floating
Like a ghost in winter
