Stephin Merritt - '01: Have You Seen It In The Snow? lyrics

They say this city is dirty and gray But I think it's pretty on a summer day And on rainy nights When the streets smudge the lights It's beautiful, you know But have you seen it in the snow? When every light has a halo When it snows all night And the world glows white In the morning light Oh, have you seen it in the snow? They'll tell you this town is an ugly thing It's all falling down and rebuilding Neither stars nor sun And I've never seen one rainbow For rainbows, go to Idaho But have you seen it in the snow? When every light has a halo When it snows all night And the world glows white In the morning light Oh, have you seen it in the snow?
