Weeping Willow Lyrics

Maybe I would have turned out different if I'd gone to the lake
Gliding on frozen water, instead of freezing in place
I had the sneaking feeling it could take me away
What if bad things couldn't catch me with the wind in my face?
So many things that little girl dreamed about
First of many ways I let her down

Snow angel, your technicolor's gone grey
Things that shouldn't happen, did anyway
Tried to get us out, but you got lost along the way
Snow angel, forgive me
We never did did learn how to skate

Every year strikes like lightning when you're covered in grief
I hear that time's a healer, but I think it's a thief
I'm afraid of being invisible, I'm afraid of being seen
Afraid I'm just a weeping willow in your evergreens
So many things that little girl dreamed about
And I don't even recognize me now

Snow angel, your technicolor's gone grey
Things that shouldn't happen, did anyway
Tried to get us out, but you got lost along the way
Snow angel, forgive me
We never did learn

All the colors' drained now
I'm pale as the snow
Take me back before the weeping willow
