Driven Snow
Nick Thorburn
Every word a rhyme
And everything a sign
And cemetery clothes
As pure as driven snow
Watch all the mourners come and go
They'll all go in time
The way that it collides
It comes as no surprise
Sometimes it comes fast
Everybody knows
That's how the story goes
And we all go in time
All night there's been something on my mind
Like somewhere I can hide
When the thief comes
Got a lot of things, yeah
I got a lot of things to leave behind
Why wait? It can't end now, why--
Why wait for the come down
Slip out the back door
You sleep with the fishes
I know it seems malicious
But death won't do your dishes
Oh, let it calm you
If you're cold
I will warm you
You're as pure as driven
As pure as driven snow
