From my hotel room in Nashville
I see it starting to snow:
both sides of the Cumberland River
and Music City Row.
Falling on the sleepless and the homeless,
on the geniuses and fools,
on the parking lots and the backyard swimming pools.
And it makes me miss my baby,
a little bigger than the day before.
And whatever was important between us,
is just a little more.
CHORUS
Every song is a snowflake that wants to live forever.
They’ve been falling from the sky for so long.
They blow between the passing cars on Broadway
- as they land upon your tongue…
they’re gone.
And it makes you feel so helpless,
the way weather is supposed to do,
as I turn up my collar
and think about you.
Songs can get you from here to there
- you don’t know how they do it.
They move your heart and your feet,
and somehow get you through it.
CHORUS
Every song is a snowflake that wants to live forever.
They’ve been falling from the sky for so long.
They blow between the passing cars on Broadway
- as they land upon your tongue…
they’re gone.
A gifted writer, player and producer, Matt's 'Lessons of War' is a fascinating collection of collaborations - but he has a great back catalogue, too - and new songs due soon... Anthony Toner
