It's beautiful outside, a magpie looks for food.
The old hand throws a crumb, 
Do you think he's found a friend?
Where footprints never go, he likes it in the snow...

White blanket, hiding the traces of paths he didn't take.
Oh white blanket covers the memory
Of moves he didn't make. 

Go now...

Oh white blanket, hiding the traces of tears she didn't see,
Snow white blanket simply covers the memory
Of all that used to be.  All that used to be.
But his heart keeps aching in the same old way,
He can't help feeling that she might come back some-
