lyrics

The Snow on the Roof
Words and music by Anne M Carley

The snow on the roof has a story to tell
It’s been an ocean
It’s been a river
It’s been everywhere
since the beginning of it all

Inside we could be safe
Inside we could be warm
Outside it could be beautiful

The snow on the roof has a story to tell
It’s been crystals
It’s been icicles
It’s been prayed for
by a farmer in July

Inside we could be safe
Inside we could be warm
Outside it could be beautiful

The snow comes from the universe
It once was acid rain
In stardust it showered the earth
As blood it passed through your veins
Will spring wait? Must it wait? Can spring wait a while?
Will we wait? Must we wait? Can we wait a while this time?

Inside we could be safe
Inside we could be warm
Outside it could be beautiful
Inside could we be safe
Inside could we be warm
Outside could it be beautiful
Inside should we be safe
Inside would we be warm
Outside could it be beautiful
