Absolution

The streetlights mark the coming night
Snow dancing in the arcs of light
Melts upon my open hand
The promised love of a wedding band

That love that lit and fed the fire
The wanting of the heart's desire
Snow ashes now that softly fall
Like silent solace on us all

A winter blessing in the end
Absolution once again
That falling white that leaves us blind
To everything we left behind

All our sins all our regrets
The ones the heart cannot forget
Who we love and who we miss
That snow as welcome as a kiss

A winter blessing in the end
Absolution once again
That falling white that leaves us blind
To everything we left behind
Who we loved and who we missed
That snow as welcome as a kiss
