The Snow Lamb

When christmas comes they clear the path
The forest deeps and blossoms swoon
A snow lamb waits beneath the hill
Her frosted breath across the night
One day you'll grow

They saw her there one christmas eve
If memory can be believed
She sped away then crept back in
And danced away and back again
Kind children won't you follow me?
Beyond the world into the trees

Inside a clearing there she was
They stumbled in on stars and moss
The snow lamb spoke and dipped her eyes
The valley bright with fire flies
I've been a child a million years
I saw the lord and kissed his tears
