The Winter Snow

My latest song is below. I wrote it when was delayed at RIT with nothing to do except the IV Christmas Party. 

The Winter Snow

I wrote this song while I was stuck,

Couldn’t drive home through the snow.

My family said “Just stay a while,

And come home when you’re clear to go”

 

All this time playing guitar,

It made me think of who we are.

Each one of us with his own will.

Are we just living for the thrill?

 

The winter snow keeps falling down

It blankets everything around

We’ve nowhere to go tonight

So let’s sit here and sing all night.

 

I wrote this song while I was stuck,

Couldn’t drive home through the snow.

Probly should have bought a truck,

But you know, that’s just my luck…

I’m thankful for this time to play, 

Time to read and time to pray.

There’s someone watching over for us

But next time I’ll just take the bus.

 

The winter snow is falling down

Covering everything around

Tomorrow I’ll make my drive home

Long hours of lonely road

I’ll remember the winter snow

And how it didn’t let me go.

 

The winter snow is here.

The winter snow is here.

To play it (for those so inclined), make a G on your guitar, lift up your index finger and move your ring finger up one string. Then play the strings you are touching in eighth notes (you'll be on the 3rd fret). The progression is frets 8-3-5-1. You'll see that they sort of correspond with the melody.

Also, I have updated Zero to include links so that everyone can see what it's talking about. Check it out on the right sidebar. -->
