Of North of North Stars - John Maus

A snowless winter

Oh, how I miss the snow

And in this city that I hate

I don’t make sense to anyone

Does anyone know

What wonders the night can hold in the cold?

Can there be inspiration without the snow-covered wandering streets gently

moonlit?

Chimneys and frost-covered window panes

The snowless winter is living death

Breathing out air without seeing your breath

I’m depressed

And I’m stupid and foolish

Your sick, sunny palm trees are creepy and ghoulish

I hate myself more than anyone else in the city

And it soothes me to know most of them will be dead

In a hundred years of snowless winters

A snowless winter

Oh, how I miss the snow

And in this city that I hate

I don’t make sense to anyone

Does anyone know

What wonders the night can hold in the cold?

Can there be inspiration without the snow-covered wandering streets gently

moonlit?

Chimneys and frost-covered window panes
