Snowbound Songtext
von David Mallett

Out of the cold November sky
Out of the distant dawn
And out of the heart of an angry man
Where the frozen dreams are born
And out of the book of old time tales
From the hills where the wind and the widow wail
Covering the yard and the rusted rails
I run before the storm


And putting the tired earth to sleep
And covering up her dead
Over the sea of the drifting deep
Where the cold ones make their beds
And painting the road and the rooftops white
And out of your long and your restless light
Out of a million miles of night
You shake your angry head at me

Sifting through the window cracks
Piling on the floor
And filling in the miner′s tracks
On the way from the company store
The wringing of hands at the hobo's camp
The loss of a life to the cold and damp
The end of the day, the light of the lamp
And the howling at the door
