For the first snow of the year
Maybe we will stand together
On some empty washed-out corner
In your parents neighborhood
Oh these streets you know by heart
Let us walk and let us listen
Joni Mitchell wishes for a river
I just wish you'd point your mittened hand
Find the moon and the stars like woah
Cracked white keys against the black keys of the sky, Yeah
So the sky is this piano and the music is hushed and still
And perfect for the first snow of the year
Sharon there is something nice
The simple glow of a living room
The drunken wash of mantle lights
Like hazy and slow on hardwood floors
Where jeans get warm against your legs
Sweaters get warm and zippers get hot
And my brother and the girl he loves
Are lying soft on the couch and you can sort of hear them say
You are my life, You are my size
You are my friend, my best friend
And the window pane is polar stains
A networked map that leads a path
Through arctic veins
to the first snow of the year
Take me to the bridge!
And the air it smells like winter
And these clouds stood stacked like slate
and Yellow taxis find the street
Bicycles whir and buses squeak
We lean against a mailbox and wait
for everything
My buddy calls it "Tetris brain"
When you play that game all day
And at night when you're going to sleep
You close your eyes and see the pieces moving
I swear to god that's what it was
Those seven weeks we talked so much
I would feel my cell phone vibrate
In my pocket even though it was off
So I held you like a flag, I did!
For this idea of ourselves together
And waved it wild about my head
The autumn green to orange to red
then white
For the first snow of the year
Then white
For the first snow of the year
That's right
The first snow of the year
