Louis Spence Poet Ballad

SNOW

Now the night has gone
And the air is comin' cold 
How this melancholy falls
Like snow around my soul 
So cold. So cold. So cold. 

I still hear your name 
Like an echo in some hall 
It still burns this flame 
Like snow around my soul 
So cold. So cold. So cold.

   You used to say 
   In a world where mercy has died 
   You'd always stay 
   Here right by my side

Though my life goes on 
I'm frozen in my role 
In an avalanche at dawn 
This snow around my soul. 
So cold. So cold. So cold 



WATCH ME SING THIS IN CONCERT.
YOUTUBE: TYPE IN LOUIS SPENCE & DONNA OAKLEY. SNOW UPON MY SOUL. 

THANK YOU
