Lyric

Oh, trembling soul, exposed to the gale

The sky you watch is empty and pale

No stars to guide you, no light in the deep

Only the secrets that the winter will keep

Your white breath is turning, drifting so low

Becoming a single petal of snow

Falling away to the ground down below

I’d be a cloud, drifting high in the air

If I could just watch you from anywhere

This burning in my chest is too much to take

Quiet the fire for my spirit’s sake

Let me sleep, let me sleep

Standing so still, though you know it's a lie

Love has been lost as the time passes by

In your white hand, you catch and you hold

A petal of snow, so fragile and cold

You gaze at the crystal before it can fade

A ghost of a promise that we never made

I’d be a flower that blooms for one night

If I could be near you and stay in your light

This burning in my chest is too much to take

Cool down the fire for my spirit’s sake

So I won't grieve, so I won't grieve

I’d be the snow that melts in the sun

Disappearing when the day has begun

If I could just feel the touch of your hand

I’d vanish away from this lonely land

Just once, let me feel you

Burning and aching, this restless desire

Melted by ice yet consumed by the fire

Grant me this wish, let the dream come to be

Under the shadow of the winter tree

I’d be the snow that melts in the sun

Disappearing when the day has begun

If I could just feel the touch of your hand

I’d vanish away from this lonely land

Grant me this dream

Just let me dream

Like a petal of snow

Melting away

In your hand

Just let me sleep
