lyrics

The first snow of the year and East St. is deserted
I put on my winter clothes and ride my bike to Andy’s
We build snowmen on the sidewalk, we give them each our names
We teach them to fight dragons, we teach them all our games
We ride out to the harbor, throw pebbles on the ice
They skid across the water in shades of blue and white
The streetlamps are our castles, the snowbanks are our beds
Until our parents come to call us we’ll sleep in the snow instead
