If I go to the place
where silence erased me,
I would realize I was never in the dark
The things I felt always in front of me
Deprived of a word for what I see
So, here I go, getting on a plane
Escaping the snow for Hawaii
Driving up a mountain to kiss a man
with a beard of snow against his suntan
but then I heard "love"
and I ran
Easy to get lost in the woods
when there isn't a map to begin with
...And to think that feeling love in a way you've never seen
could ever be a bad thing...
But now I know better
and remind myself
I wasn't wrong about Jolly Old Saint Nick

Snowfall in Mitte, 1892

I know what you are
I know what you do
Snowfall in Mitte, 1892
I know this direction
we've headed in
wasn't a choice
not from heaven nor sin
You could say that we are
risking our lives
But, hey, it's the 90's
We're just tryin' to survive
But that's how things go
in our home, this enclave
Dance through the night
while others look away
Snowflakes bringing out the rose in your cheeks
Each exhaled breath feels like a sigh of release
I know what you are
and I think I am that, too
Snowfall in Mitte, 1892
I don't know what we are,
but I know what we'll do
Snowfall in Mitte, 1892
Hackescher snowflakes
All planned to be made
Our form of love
A saving grace
Two halves lost on a factory track
No route to go other than to get back
I can't see the stars
but I can see you
Snowfall in Mitte, 1892
