An early but fairly timely one....:


Driftin' Snow
Willie P. Bennett 1975

I came down from Thessalon; Toronto's not my home
I miss the north country so much; no longer will I roam

Driftin' snow around my window
Driftin' snow around my door
Driftin' snow around my brains, Lord
Won't be no driftin' anymore

I'm sitting here waiting for the winter to die
Well, sometimes I hope I never make it through
And the things that I believe aren't about to fight
With the things that I know inside are true

All the friends that I have had or misplaced along the way
No amount of energy could ever bring them back
It weighs down on me like a ton; it never was no fun
But I never meant to do any harm

Driftin' snow around my window
Driftin' snow around my door
Driftin' snow around my brains, Lord
Won't be no driftin' anymore

Well I'm running as silent as a sleeping train
Hey moon, hey moon, won't you shine down on me
I need your light to give me direction
The further off I get the better off I'Il be

All the time that I have spent or misplaced along the way
No amount of energy could ever bring it back
It weighs down on me like a ton; it never was no fun
But I never meant to do any harm

Driftin' snow around my window
Driftin' snow around my door
Driftin' snow around my brains, Lord
Won't be no driftin' anymore
