Written after a snowy night in Govan - memories of young student love and snow fall in St Andrews...

lyrics

That night the snow fell

That night the snow fell
It Left everything so bright and so beautiful
Took the edge off every sound
Closed things down
and left the town so still

That night the snow fell
I was hushed and reverent 
Held in a reverie
You came back again to me 
A winter dream 
Your body wrapped in memories

The night the snow fell
It Came down through a windless sky
Such gentle verticals
Covered everything in sight 
Changed the light 
It was such a simple fix

CHORUS
I dreamed you here again
 Your footsteps first to break the snow and mark a path
I dreamed you here again
 Your footsteps first to break and mark a path

That night the snow fell 
We ran out into the street  like little kids again 
Then you kissed me there below
The golden glow 
Of streetlights in the snow

The night the snow fell
It fell for hours then it stopped
The clouds moved on again
Gave the stars their chance to shine
A million times 
You know I felt so good with you

CHORUS
Across those frozen streets
The whole world stopped and held its breath  until you slept
Beneath those winter stars
The whole earth held its breath until you slept

That night the snow fell 
That night the snow fell 
That night the snow fell
