Snow Moon is the name of the full moon for February, and so this is the next track in our (as yet, unanamed) album that Andreas Pirner and I are making to honour each of the 12 moons of the year. We hope you enjoy it!
For those who like to read the words, they’re here:
WORDS:
Snow Moon came sailing in on a black anvil cloud
And gazed down at the red roofs in the hushed vale below.
The people were fatigued, that much she knew.
They felt it had been a long time since Yule,
The grey-skied days were taking their toll.
She could hear them as they slumbered on.
Their dreams and prayers stole through her heart
On their way up the silver stairway to the stars.
She waved to Aquarius, the Water Bearer,
In no time, sparkling crystals filled his pails,
And he tipped them down towards the vale.
White lace fractal flakes fell in silent veils,
Each one complete in itself; unique in shape,
Swaying in murmurations, in soundless accord,
Whispering into swansdown drifts and banks
And turning the valley into a winter wonderland.
Snow Moon shone in pleasure at her twinkling boon
Until dawn, when the Sun rose to light the scene
With an iridescent pink and coral sheen.
Then two small boys pulled back their blinds,
Rubbing the sleep from their eyes in delight
And wonder that their whole world was now white.
They ran downstairs: “Dad! It’s snow! It’s snow!
“Do you think the schools will be closed?”
Dad smiled at the memory of his first Snow Day.
No trains could run; black ice covered the lanes
It was days before the snow ploughs got through.
So he knew that there was only one thing to do.
He went out to his shed, the boys jumping in tow,
And he reached up to bring down an odd-looking gizmo,
“What’s that, Dad?” his sons wanted to know,
“It’s a toboggan,” he replied with eyes alight. “Let’s go!”
