’01 Have You Seen It in the Snow?
Stephin Merritt
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?
