Moss & Snow

Sarah said I couldn’t come

that my hair was too long

told me I didn’t belong at her party

Johnny asked how I could see

with the world lost to me

told him I was doing fine not to worry

And when I was younger I would sing all day

Run to the orchard just to hear what

the birds and trees might say

Now that I’m older and the orchards gone

I’m free to wander and still sing, ooo

I never asked for any of this

Momma’s long days, dad’s dirty kiss

With nothing to hold me in this home

No-one to tell me I’m alone

In the hollow there’s a stone

Where I hid my rabbit’s bone

Underneath the moss and snow

Slowly digging through the loam
