[Verse 1]
I know you, we met long ago
You were four when I was born
Your mother took you to the hospital
To sit beside me, a baby
Long ago, long and far away
We made lemonade
And poured it out and we said a prayer
For the driveway of your house
Hoo (x6)
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll go away from me
And I will live again
You'll go away from me
And I'll be my own friend
[Chorus]
On a day as cold as nine inch snow
On a day as cold as nine inch snow
On a day as cold as nine inch snow
On a day as cold as long ago
[Verse 2]
In our town hail came falling down
Bouncing off your rooftop
We were afraid and we said a prayer
For the basement of your house
It snowed for days covering windowpanes
But we held tight
Each others hands, knuckles white
White as the snow that would never stop
Never letting up, never enough
Hoo (x2)
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll go away from me
And I will live again
You'll go away from me
And I'll be my own friend
You'll go away from me
And I will live again
You'll go away from me
And I'll be my own friend
You'll go away, go away from me
You'll go away, go away from me
[Chorus]
On a day as cold as nine inch snow
On a day as cold as nine inch snow
On a day as cold as nine inch snow
On a day as cold as long ago
