I Watched It Fall… | A Childhood Memory

This is another song in a series I’m writing about the places that raised me. It comes from the first time I saw snow, watching it fall through the bus window and trying to understand what I was seeing. Love to you, Emery Lyrics: she said we were going to shawnee shawn looked at me i looked back at my brother did you say his name, mother no, shawnee’s a place, she said now get back in your bed we’re driving the whole night through it might be snowing too what was snow i wanted to know no one seemed to answer me so i watched through my window waiting to see we drove and we drove and the bus got chilly the windows dripped wet i drew faces, so silly the road went quiet streetlights got blurry the sky went white then i saw it fall from the night soft and slow soft and slow beautiful snow i never knew white could be so bright that snow could light up the night falling, falling slowly down never making a single sound i watched it land on bus and ground white was everywhere around i woke up ready to go i said, mom, may i please play in the snow she looked down at me and said no she let my brothers go ahead but told me to go back to bed i begged and begged and even cried please, please, let me go outside she said it was too cold for me but i couldn’t let that be 3 shirts, 2 pants, and all my socks i was warm, mom see i put all my clothes on me she said no and walked away i waited and snuck out anyway it was cold and oh so white i held my little hands clenched so tight everything looked so pretty everything looked clean no dirt anywhere to be seen just white sky falling falling like a dream i stood looking up at the crystal trees shaking in my little knees so cold i couldn’t feel my nose i better get back on the bus, i suppose i never knew white could be so bright that snow could light up the night falling, falling so slowly down never making a single sound i watched it land on bus and ground white was everywhere around it’s so cold, and it was so new i wanted to play in it too i hope i see snow again one day i need more clothes so i can play so soft and shiny, like fluffy ice wearing a blanket would be so nice from the bus i watched it fall and fall watched my brothers run and call cold hurt my feet and my little nose but i’ll come back when i get more clothes i never knew white could be so bright that snow could light up the night falling, falling so slowly down never making a single sound i watched it land on bus and ground white was everywhere around i never knew white could be so bright that snow could light up the night falling, falling slowly down snow was everywhere around ____________________________ Emery Island Original #childhoodmemory #originalsong #singersongwriter #acousticmusic #placesthatraisedme #EmeryIsland
