Snowman's Waltz


Snowman, I see you on the outside, 
trying to make sense of it all.
Looking out into darkness,
Summer, spring, winter and fall.

Dance with me, snowman, 
come dance with me.
Dreamers all dance the same dance.

Dance with me, snowman,
come dance with me,
Lovers all dance the same dance.

We are bound by the seasons,
just as the flowers in spring.
After the blossom comes the fall and
The Emperor of Ice Cream.

Dance with me, Snowman, 
come dance with me.
Dancers all dance the same dance.

Dance with me, Snowman,
Come dance with me.
Beggars all dance the same dance.

Look and you will not find it; 
keep looking and you will stay free.
Dance with me, Snowman, come dance with me,
I am aching to be set free.

Dreams are as fragile as sunsets,
Love as eternal as stone.
Innocence serves you just so well. 
Cowardice keeps you alone.

Dance with me, Snowman, 
come dance with me.
Sidharthas all dance the same dance.

Dance with me Snowman,
come dance with me.
We'll create and destroy in our dance.

You've chosen the path of experience.
chosen the warm summer night.
You value icicles more highly than
what society says is right.

Dance with me snowman
Come dance with me
All we have is the dance

Dance with me, Snowman,
Come dance with me,
Life is in the dance.
