When It Snowed

[Caravan Ray]

When it Snowed (In Mount Isa)
- caravanray

Well it’s 3am in Gympie and I know the lights of Brisbane and your loving arms and coffee are still 2 hours drive
I’ve just spent 2 weeks on the road trying hard to remember just why it is this life I lead beats working 9-to-5
But there’s nothing beats that feeling coming in my own front door
My wife is there to greet me, baby daughter on the floor
She asks me did I miss them while away
And though I know she knows the answer
This is what I say

There was the day when it snowed in Mount Isa
The day that emu flapped his wings and flew
The day I couldn’t find a steak dinner in Rockhampton
That’s the day I didn’t think of you
That’s the day I didn’t think of you

Well I know I am a lucky man I get to see the sights, the rainforest and the reef and the deserts endless skies
But I know my luck is not only restricted to the road, it’s in my family waiting for me that my fortune really lies
Cos’ there’s nothing beats that feeling coming in my own front door
My wife is there to greet me, baby daughter on the floor
She asks me did I miss them while away
So I kiss her and I answer
With what I always say

There was the day when it snowed in Mount Isa
The day that emu flapped his wings and flew
The day I couldn’t find a steak dinner in Rockhampton
That’s the day I didn’t think of you
That’s the day I didn’t think of you

You ask me did I miss you
Does a truckie like to swear?
Does Gordon Tallis like to belt a Blue?
Is the Big Mango outside Bowen, sitting upside down?
Do headlights dazzle kangaroos?

There was the day I made a snowman in Cloncurry
The day that feral pig jumped up and flew
The day I couldn’t find a feed of barramundi in Karumba
That’s the day I didn’t think of you
There was the day the river froze in Urandangi
The day the Coral Sea wasn’t blue
The day that Peter Beatty tried to dodge a TV camera
That’s the day I didn’t think of you
There was the day when it snowed in Mount Isa
When that old man emu flapped his wings and flew
The day I couldn’t find a steak dinner in Rockhampton
That’s the day I didn’t think of you
That’s the day I didn’t think of you

I'm still not sure if this song is going to make it into the fight or not but in the meantime ...

When It Snowed

When it snowed skin and bone
Flight 106 just wiped away
The day it rained blood and brains
The kids all thought it was Christmas day

And the ghosts gather, shards of white
Dancing, bright red sky at night
And I remember the day it snowed ...

When it poured death and war
Human shards as thin as card
Military jets, enemy threat
Small mistake, a cloud of flakes

And the ghosts gather, shards of white
Dancing, bright red sky at night
And I remember the day it snowed ...

I will wait all night for you
And I will wait for you up here
And I will have my revenge

And the ghosts gather, shards of white
Dancing, bright red sky at night
And I remember the day it snowed ...

[Kamakura]

When it snowed - Kamakura

Stuck for days the weatherman promised
It’s not so bad if I’m really honest
With you, Wrapped up with you

Drinking beer with lots of chasers
Too much TV, idol making
With you, wrapped up with you

And when it snowed you became the snow queen
When it snowed you became the snow queen

Snow lies heavy, deep outside
Yet here I am and my spirit flies
With you, wrapped up with you

Blonde hair, ruby lips
A symphony in flagrante delicto
With you, wrapped up with you

And when it snowed you became the snow queen
When it snowed you became the snow queen

When It Snowed - deshead

In our September age, forgotten summer light.
We used to brave the wind and shiver in the night.
All the shadows cast dance about this place.
I loved to watch the winter moon light up your face.

• And when it snowed on the car back then,
  we thought that time could be frozen still...

I've suffered through more long cold dark endless nights,
with all the gray things and the dead skies and goodbyes
We used to love the snow, December nights and days.
I'm the cost of all your bitter ways

• You know I can't stand the weather here,
  it's nothing like the old place.
  You know I can't stand the weather here.
  A morning in your life is all I ask.

There's no "we'll get along,"
There's no "we'll get by."
There's only winter here and darkness in your eyes.
There're no good songs and nothing I can say.
I'm left with snow that falls and lies for days

• You know I can't stand the weather here,
  it's nothing like the old place.
  You know I can't stand the weather here.
  A morning in your life is all I ask.

when it snowed
revel yth

a breath upon the wind
it's traveled over oceans
and i know it's yours, it whispers my name

a song within the rain
it's sung in many dark storms
and i know it's yours, it sounds just like you

i am breathing you as currents move
inside the cloudes, just past the fog
when the air is dense i still can taste you
but since it snowed i haven't [..]

a memory that haunts
i'm living like a dreamer
but my hope lives on, even without you

Boltoph - When It Snowed

When it snowed, we stayed inside for so long
watching the snowflakes fall from the sky, land on the ground
til it was up to our waists
hey how would like the taste of new england winter, for a while?

When it snowed, I swore that I would lose my mind
sitting inside for so long, so long
i write a song about ninjas or about some kind of waiting, wishing
wish i was already gone

so i get in my car
turn the key
and out i go

got my four wheel drive, and i'm driving real slow but
you know someone's gotta fuck something up, spin out
so right in front of me about fifty feet ahead, there he was
spinning sideways through the road

i thought i could avoid
too close
felt myself sliding in
oh no! here it comes...[crash]

[Andy Balham]

When It Snowed by The Masters of Grip

Verse I
From the fountain of youth
All you pursued
Was how to get to higher ground
But on your way up
One fatal cut
That you hoped would not be found

Bridge
But time moves on and what you've done
Makes you yearn to bury the truth
Some choices are made, sometimes you can't escape
What fate has decided for you

Chorus
When it snowed, back in childhood
Things were innocent then
Now if only, that layer of whiteness
Could come and cover your sin

Verse II
You made you choice
Touching the void
As your friend slipped away
The frayed remains
Those guilty stains
Laid in the snow that day

Bridge
Chorus
Bridge

Chorus II
Now when it snows, you’re reminded
What lays hidden from view
One dead friend, in the whiteness
Staring back at you

When it Snowed lyrics by Freddielove

When it rained it poured
and when it snowed so white you got a black
I read you were blue in green
from letting opportunity pass by.

Yeah no song, here are the lyrics that went unrecorded.

One cliche, five colors, and and a passing reference to Miles Davis.

[Eric Y.]

five colors

i only count four.

[Freddielove]

read = red, sounds the same when pronounced.

[j$]

Actually, even then it's only four. Black is an absence of colour, remember?

Tell that to my ink jet.
