DIAMONDS
DIAMONDS
For Anthony
Falling snow, falling snow
Come and cover everything below
All the loss and confusion
With your lovely blanket of illusion
Smooth the ridge, fill the hollow
Cover all my emptiness and sorrow
With your soft Winter whiteness
Turn my darkest shadows into brightness
Tiny snowflakes come drifting
Lighten all the loads that I’ve been lifting
With your bright crystal silence
Turn my frozen teardrops into diamonds
Weight the trees, bend the branches
Hide my broken dreams and chances
Keep my footprints all frozen
On the paths I never should have chosen
Bury obstacles underneath
Your lovely Winter world of wonder
Under cold blanket sleeping
All the hidden troubles I’ve been keeping
Falling snow, falling snow
Come and cover everything below
With your bright crystal silence
Turn my frozen teardrops into diamonds
