Lyric

The snow is falling, falling down again

In the hometown where I was a boy back then

A crying face floats in a misty haze

A memory from those distant, golden days

The wind whispered a secret in my ear

The girl I grew up with is no longer here

She’s married now, she’s gone and started a life

A stranger's bride, a stranger's wife

The one I long to see is gone from sight

No one to lean on in the cold of the night

No reason left to go, no hand to hold

In this winter land, so bitter and bold

Should I go back? Should I return?

To the bridges I thought I had managed to burn?

Despite it all, despite the pain

Should I go back home again?

The snow is falling, falling down so deep

Burying the memories I tried to keep

But nostalgia sprouts like a sudden seed

Waking a hunger, a lonely kind of greed

I’m wandering lost in the white of the air

Shaken by shadows of a life that’s not there

The ones who waited have all passed away

The house where I lived has crumbled to gray

The one I long to see is gone from sight

No roof to shield me from the cold of the night

No reason left to go, nothing to find

Except for the ghosts I left behind

Should I go back? Should I return?

To the lessons I thought I had managed to learn?

Despite it all, despite the rain

Should I go back home again?

Not a soul left who knows my name

The streets and the faces are never the same

No place to come back to, no door to unlock

Just the ticking of a frozen clock

Should I go back? Should I return?

Let the fires of the past finally burn?

Despite it all, despite the strain

I’m going back home again

Yeah, I'm going back home again

The snow is falling

Nowhere to go

But I'm going home

Into the white
