about

One of the most beautiful things in the world is newfallen snow in New York City. One of the ugliest things in the world is New York City snow after six hours. This song is completely inspired by that idea, despite the many arguments that I must have written this song about a specific and particularly bad relationship. It's definitely written to have that kind of double meaning, but it's not about anybody, really. Not even you. In January 2007 I made a video for this track and premiered it on Midnight Ukulele Disco.

Written 12 February 2006.

lyrics

First snow of the year
you caught me off guard
one minute my path is clear
then you're in my yard

making up for lost time
coming on so strong
and I forget the last time
when you done me wrong


You're only lovely for a while
Before the sludge starts to show
I always fall for your smile
But soon enough everybody knows

You show the marks of everyone
who has stepped on you
but instead of moving on
you make a badge of the abuse

'Look at me,' you say 'I'm dirty'
'And that deserves attention'
you ask to be forgiven
but you're not pure as the driven

first snow of the year
you took me by surprise
I thought my mind was clear
but now I can't decide
