Snow Day

Struck brightly by the winter 
when the snow falls thick and silent 
i can only hear you breathing 

i will follow a set of deep tracks 
other people all stay hidden 
as the cars rest under snow drifts 

so clearly the dark sky 
appears framed by cables 
so clearly your breath's white 
as you struggle to tell 

that the people we have become 
still lay awake hoping to hear airwaves 
say snow day 

as the day goes gray to grayer 
we don't think of all the struggle 
in our footsteps, it's behind us 

so clearly your eyes framed in the light decaying 
so quiet your words stood out when you were saying 
that people we have become 
all know there's more than the setting sun 
snow day 

we can want more 
we'll find out in the new morning 
we can want more 
we'll wait up to hear closings
