[Verse 1]
Once a year you'll appear, dine at their tables and drink soup to stew
Though no one sees you
Once a year you'll appear, swing on your swingset
Sing snowy night rooms, your sweet snowy tombs
[Chorus]
No, they will wake you they are
Cover your form with old clothes
No, they'll take you into their arms
Grandma's stormcellar grew cold
[Verse 2]
Go this night into time, oh did you scare them dressed in sheets of white, at dizzying heights?
Go this night into time, the children mistaken to think it untrue, you old ancient ruse
[Chorus]
No, they will wake you they are
Cover your form with old clothes
No, they'll take you into their arms
Tell them the secret to snowing
[Verse 3]
Pointing hands, pointing hands ghosts of the old friends we all used to be, we all used to be
Pointing hands, pointing hands, somehow we all played in musical bands that toured through the lands
[Chorus]
No, they will wake you they are
Cover your form with old clothes
No, they'll take you into their arms
Tell them the secret to snowing
