Dancing In The Snow

Trying to love again
is like dancing in the snow
slippery ice, my tears in the cold
and I wanna throw my arms around the world
so I can embrace every pretty girl
close to my skin, don't be shy, come on in
my heart's so big you can fit Texas right in
so find your place
and dry my face
I've been watering feelings to grow
desperately dancing in the snow
waiting for spring
waiting for anything
to call real

And I should know by now
that no matter how hard I search this town
you're not here
you're not anywhere
I need you, ooh to come around
And I've been shivering in the snow
my pulse is racing for the a chance to go
into the atmosphere
but I can still smell your hair
and it sends me crashing to the ground

Trying to spike the vein
is like aching to feel numb
love's vacancy, why am I so dumb?
To let it all explode like a hand grenade
I can't swim through emotions so I wade
close off my soul, changed my mind, keep out
my heart's shrinking, I'm dying without a doubt
so keep your distance
nothing's making sense
in all this world, a deep blue undertow
desperately dancing in the snow
waiting to be loved
I've waited long enough
I need to feel

I don't understand at all
the hurt I feel when you don't call
'cause a smile is just a curve of the lips
and my frown I carve into the curve of her hips
the likeness is so right on, it's killing me
you should be thrilling me
but now my love has so far to go
all I can do, baby, is keep dancing in the snow
all I can do, baby, is keep on dancing to know
someone feels the way I do, from there I can grow
and spring will free my soul
till then you can find me here, dancing in the snow,
oh...

'Cause I've got nowhere else to go.

"I'm the soul drifter, and I'm out of this town, ain't no use hangin' round, you see" -- Lindsey Buckingham, 'Soul Drifter'

I enjoyed this post very much,
especially this part, it seems familiar to me

"'cause a smile is just a curve of the lips
and my frown I carve into the curve of her hips
the likeness is so right on, it's killing me
you should be thrilling me"

Nicely done.

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

I love the dance....tis beautiful, in the snow....

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding
