First Snow - Phil Ochs

First snow on the autumn ground

Covers grass where she once lay down

Blanket of white, grass out of sight

Where did she go, tell me first snow

First snow cover my mistakes

Cover the past with your flakes

Perfect white sheet, beneath my feet

I hurt her so, cleanse me first snow

First snow down you dart

Cold as the winter, cold as my heart

Fall from the sky, please tell me why

I let her go and lost her first snow

First snow down you fall

I feel your heartbeat, I hear you call

So I’ll lay still, with autumn I go

Please hurry, first snow
