I walked out in the snow
And left no mark upon the ground I trod
The sky, heavy and low

The exhalation of an Arctic god
And I heard words meant for no one
In the air,words out of nowhere

And I saw all at once at my feet
Unexpectedly, a shadow play


I broke off on a floe
And drifted aimlessly a hundred miles
The wind, beginning to blow

Carried me forward on this boat of ice
And I saw things half imagined


Far away, pictures and pageants
That were lost in a moment like words
From a langauge that I never knew


And this voyage seemed to be haunted
By a soul, lost and unwanted

Destined to journey through time
Always covered in a coat of white


I walked out in the snow
Never knowing what I came here for
A dream from so long ago

But we don't talk about it anymore
