Our snowflake dreams

In a crystalline flurry and swirlin' they hurry

For day has already begun

Circlin' and siftin' and blowin' and driftin'

And trying to outrun the sun



Our snowflake dreams

In their fancy dress laces, they show off their graces

In places of laughter and fun

Each one too vain to admit he's just rain

And trying to outrun the sun



Our snowflake dreams

With their patterns all broken and battered and soaking

From doorway to doorway they run

Then losing their faces

In watery traces

While trying to outrun the sun
