there was snow, white snow

The Cape winter weather has set in- its so different from the smoky Gauteng winter.Ive spent the last 6 days with my family in Joburg [for my grandmothers funeral]and really although it was sad, it was lovely to see people that I havent seen for ten years* [yes nicky im talking about you] and that made me happy.Now im off, to paint my nails ash rose, to read Dan Brown and to dream of summer.

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze
Down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft

Bury me in armor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home unfolds

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below

So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still

So if you love me
Won't you let me know?

If you love me,
Won't you let me know?
