[Verse 1] Above us, fluffy snow is falling thick and white, It whirls and melts in tears upon the cheek so cold. Your eyes, so lonely, empty in the fading light, Were sinking deep in shadowy worlds of old. [Verse 2] You looked for worlds, for starlight shining from afar, Along the roadside lamps where shadows start to play. Love is a silent, flickering and distant star, That still inside your hope was burning, warm and gray. [Chorus] Like a ghost through the drifts of the deep winter snow, With a shawl thrown right over your shoulders so low, In the furs left unfastened, so careless and wild, You have stifled your sorrow, and turned reconciled. [Bridge] And that sorrow is endless, eternity's deep, Why are you rushing back into its keep? Before you lies the hardened Milky Way, A gloomy star where deserts fade away. [Chorus] Like a ghost through the drifts of the deep winter snow, With a shawl thrown right over your shoulders so low, In the furs left unfastened, so careless and wild, You have stifled your sorrow, and turned reconciled. [Outro] And that sorrow is endless... A gloomy star... [Fade Out]
