lyrics
ANGELS IN SNOW, by Karyn Ellis
Your skin on my skin, your icy hands traveled up
Underneath my sweater.
And I shook as I let you in.
The air was freezing, I was scared of the heat.
Seeds lie under blanket of snow.
They make it through the winter on potential.
And I don’t want to get burned
By coming out of hibernation too soon.
Words dangle from my lips like icicles, icicles.
I say to myself: Girl, don’t be a fool.
Will you lay it all out on a cold winter night?
Angels in snow.
Your smile all crooked and teeth.
I breathe in sharply as your lips and my shoulder meet.
Inside, sounding deep in my bones
It’s early spring thaw cracking lake Ontario.
And I remember that day I was standing
In my snowsuit—face pressed up to the brilliant sky.
On great lakes, my cheeks burning with wind.
I was dizzy with the brightness—I was scared I might fall in.
Words dangle from my lips in metaphors.
I say to myself: Girl, you’ve been here before.
Will you lay it all out on a cold winter night?
Angels in snow.
Your skin on my skin, your icy hands traveled up
Underneath my sweater.
And I shook as I let you in.
The air was freezing, I was scared of the heat.
Seeds lie under blanket of snow.
They make it through the winter on potential.
And I don’t want to get burned
By coming out of hibernation too soon.
Words dangle from my lips like icicles, icicles.
I say to myself: Girl, don’t be a fool.
Will you lay it all out on a cold winter night?
Angels in snow.
Your smile all crooked and teeth.
I breathe in sharply as your lips and my shoulder meet.
Inside, sounding deep in my bones
It’s early spring thaw cracking lake Ontario.
And I remember that day I was standing
In my snowsuit—face pressed up to the brilliant sky.
On great lakes, my cheeks burning with wind.
I was dizzy with the brightness—I was scared I might fall in.
Words dangle from my lips in metaphors.
I say to myself: Girl, you’ve been here before.
Will you lay it all out on a cold winter night?
Angels in snow.
