It's Snowing
I couldn’t believe it when I woke up today
It had snowed and settled and blocked my driveway
A white blanket had covered the whole of my car
So I knew by then that I wouldn’t get far
It had been forecast but we didn’t expect
To get such a downfall like that just yet
It hasn’t snowed like this for some years
But for some it has caused a few tears
Everything stops when the snow is so thick
I was so glad I was off work sick
I wouldn’t have got off the drive today
The white blanket of snow had got in the way
It was years ago now since the snow fell this way
I haven’t seen as much snow as today
The buses stopped running and the trains stood still
I couldn’t get out coz I live up a hill
The snowflakes were falling like cotton wool balls
I looked out of my window as the snowflakes fall
I was going to build a snowman but I was too tired
After clearing the driveway my energy expired
The snow on the hills looked so wonderfully white
The sky was full and in the night it was still bright
It was just like a scene from a Christmas card
In the morning it was icy and the snow had gone hard
The roads have been gritted but only the main
They even forecast some more snow again
So although it looks like a picture out there
It would be much better if it was elsewhere
