The Very First Snow

The world rolls and it changes gears But today I'll stay in bed I'm gonna soak these sheets in tears I'm gonna think of you instead They say that you're in a better place now Oh but they don't believe what they know You left with all of the Christmas lights on As light as the very first snow I see red and I hear the noise I'm gonna go there when I can Oh whiskey rye is my drug of choice I think the night will understand And though you won't get that cold anymore You will freeze in the back of my brain And in my dreams I will open the door If you will lean into the frame I'm gonna miss your indoor voice And the way you washed your hands And all these diamonds you left for me That I just thought were sand They say that you're in a better place now Oh but they don't believe what they know You left with all of the Christmas lights on As light as the very first snow
