about

When it seems the snow is piling nearly as high as the pressures of your daily life, just relax, and wait for the plow.

lyrics

Snow falls gently
down into my eyes
as the silence of Christmas
falls over the street...
I blink it away now,
while the hazy street lamps
guide my feet to the spade
ever waiting, ever waiting...

And the drive -
from which I don't expect ever
to extricate my conveyance...

So, I dig out a plot
with a view of the window
where Carol and the kids
have strewn up bright
coloured lights...
And maybe those candles
that aren't really candles,
but glow brilliant red
against the dark
of the night...

I dig out that plot,
and I lay myself in it,
and await the sweet bliss
of the oncoming plow...
