I post these lyrics in honor of the freshly-fallen snow—our first of the season!
You can find this lovely song—from Said the Whale’s latest album, Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia—on iTunes, or you can download it for free from the band’s website. While you’re there, you can also pick up two of their EPs for free. How generous they are!
Wake up when it’s dark outside
Making small talk with the sky again
Catch a snowflake on my tongue
Make a wish that daylight comes againPoke my nose out through the blinds
Hope to God it sticks this time
Daylight breaks and sun comes up
Watch as our white Christmas turns to mushMush… mush…
Baby, with the snow outside
It’s just you and me and no one else
Talk about the years gone by
Ain’t it such a shame how time flies?Ba, ba da da, ba ba ba ba da…
This city’s a mess, this city’s a mess, this city’s alive…
