Genesis › Lyrics › Snowbound

Lay your body down upon the midnight snow
Feel the cold of winter in your hair
Here, in a world of your own, in a casing that's grown
To a children's delight that arrived overnight

And here they come to play their magic games
Carving names upon your frozen hand
Here in a world of your own, like a sleeper whose eyes
Sees the pain with surprise, as it smothers your cries

They'll never, never know

Hey, there's a snowman, hey, hey, what a snowman
Pray for the snowman, ooh, ooh, what a snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep

Smiling faces tear your body to the ground
Covered red that only we can see
Here, in a ball that they made from the snow on the ground
See it rolling away wild eyes to the sky

They'll never, never know

Hey, there's a snowman, hey, what a snowman
Pray for the snowman, ooh, ooh, what a snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep

Hey, there goes the snowman, hey, there what a snowman
Hey, there lies the snowman, hey, he was a snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep

Hey, there goes the snowman, hey, hey, there what a snowman
Hey, there lies the snowman, hey, he was a snowman
