Blue Snowflakes Start Falling

from City Is Dark by David R. Elliott

/

lyrics

A calm runs over us,
shimmering brilliant in a cold rush.
Flickering in headlights,
beaming into the park.
And girls with red scarves,
and red cheeks on white streets.
Girls with red scarves,
and red cheeks on white streets,
know that when blue snowflakes start falling on the cold streets,
that's where I'll be;
the city is dead 'til then.

The city is dead.
The city is dead 'til the winter comes.

A storm falls over us,
quivering silent in the cold slush.
Flickering in streetlights,
dark-yellow shining in the dark.
And girls with red scarves,
and cold feet on cold street.
Girls with red scarves,
and cold feet on cold streets,
know that when blue snowflakes start falling on the cold streets,
that's where I'll be;
the city is dead til then, anyway.
The city is dead.
The city is dead 'til the winter comes.
