In the silent snow..
In the secret snow..
(chorus sung part)
Far off voices
Hear them singing
A bell ringing in the night
Muffled footsteps
In remoteness
Underneath a sheet of ice
(chorus spoken parts)
The effect this extraordinary surprise
Had upon him the following morning
How could he have dreamed it while he was awake?
How could he explain it?
The delusion was so vivid
It affected his behavior
The effect of this extraordinary surprise
How could he have dreamed it while he was awake?
Light...
In the silent snow
In the secret snow
It is where I go
It is what I know
Only in the silent snow
Only in the...
(overlapping spoken part)
How lovely, it must be snowing
Long, white ragged lines
Drifting and sifting across the street
Across the faces of the old houses
Whispering and hushing
It’s a land of perpetual snow
A far-off voice,
A bell’s ringing
There’s a sheet of ice
It must be snowing
White, ragged lines
Drifting and sifting..
