it was just snow soft and white
it was just snow falling so light
it was just snow soft and white
falling so light,
falling last night
no it wasn't a lightning storm
ripping leaves and
the limbs off of trees
and it wasn't a massive earthquake
the earth buckling from beneath
because he wasn't quite that sad
and he wasn't quite that mad
but his messenger died yesterday
and he wanted us to know
so it was just snow soft and white
it was just snow falling so light
it was just snow soft and white
falling so light,
falling last night
no it wasn't a giant tidal wave
drowning every man
woman and child
and it wasn't a huge hurricane
wind and rain whipping
'round us so wild
because he wasn't quite that sad
and he wasn't quite that mad
but his messenger died yesterday
and he wanted us to know
so it was just snow soft and white
it was just snow falling so light
it was just snow soft and white
falling so light,
falling last night
