The sun sets in the west A snow begins to fall quietly on the toad White moon rises over the bird's nest Ice develops unseen on the road A car zooms through the night A night that has never been like this Clouds silver in their splendor Tender like a lover's kiss The ice turns black as Hades' sender The car roars through the night's flurry Your eyes on the night's first ray Look at that precious white elm tree Oh, what a beautiful end to a long day Your thoughts on you and me Ice and car interact with slipping design Sights of metal bent around that white tree Words of love left unsaid to you Ice was too invisible for you to see A hush comes with the morning dew My heart's end.
