Still in the cold sleeps cut of time
Without a break the wind blows
Covering cries merciful
Under the screen of unreal stars.
Snowqualmie sleeps without a sound
Depressing voice from the Red Lodge
Give me the key of such a spell
As time is running on and on.

Behind the scenes I wrote the end
of an old tale read time ago
A jester said "Don't let me down"
calling me in, driving me out.
So I decided then to go
cut in the snowy highway storm
handling that colt lost in my innocence
turning you all into stone.

The sleepy town stays out of time
without a break the wind blows
covering cries merciful
under the array of scary stars.
Snowqualmie sleeps without a sound
depressing voice from the Black Lodge
Take back the keys of such a spell
under the vault of heaven.

Behind the scenes I wrote the end
of an odd tale read time ago
an angel said "Don't let me down"
callin me in driving me out.
So I decided then to go
cut in the snowy highway storm
handling that cold lost in my innocence
turning you all into stone.
