lyrics
Winter Alibi
Words and music by Shannon Rose
I have watched the snow falling for hours
And the pile of down grow on the hedge
And the frosting spread in thick winds over the rooftops
And our old pine is dripping in diamonds, in crystal, and cold
This is my winter alibi
I keep to myself and I tell you lies
A woman can fall without a sound
Just as the snow falls to the ground
Out the window white gold falls from the heavens
As the words drift soft onto the page
It’s the quiet, the peace in the season that’s keeping me inside
But there’s nothing beginning, no stirring, no push to be warm
This is my winter alibi
I keep to myself and I tell you lies
A woman can fall without a sound
Just as the snow falls to the ground
But you know it’s better, I’m better, all better
It’s crystal clear
Yeah you know it’s better, I’m better
Do I sound sincere
This is my winter alibi
I keep to myself and I tell you lies
A woman can fall without a sound
Just as the snow falls to the ground
