Our snowflake dreams
In a crystalline flurry and swirlin' they hurry
For day has already begun
Circlin' and siftin' and blowin' and driftin'
And trying to outrun the sun

Our snowflake dreams
In their fancy dress laces, they show off their graces
In places of laughter and fun
Each one too vain to admit he's just rain
And trying to outrun the sun

Our snowflake dreams
With their patterns all broken and battered and soaking
From doorway to doorway they run
Then losing their faces
In watery traces
While trying to outrun the sun
