The Snow Came Down - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

A railway station

On a long forgotten line

No destination

But it always leaves on time

He buys his ticket

As the train prepares to leave

Don’t want to miss it

On this night Christmas Eve

He stared into the night no expectations

He watched the world go by without a sound

He saw the city lights arrive and fade away

While all that night

All that night

The snow came down

No conversation

As the snow fell from the sky

His consolation

That the world is well disguised

He stared into the night no expectations

He watched the world go by without a sound

He saw the city lights arrive and fade away

While all that night

All that night

The snow came down

He stared into the night, no expectations

But in his heart he wanted to believe

That somehow someone would be waiting there

Upon this Christmas Eve

And when his train it pulled into that station

He saw there was a single pair of tracks

Within the snow and leading to that

Station door

And he followed those steps back

And on this night of our salvation

Where dreams that have been lost

Can there be found

They walked away together

On that Christmas Eve

While all that night

All that night

The snow came down

IN THIS LAST SEASON OF THE YEAR

THIS SEASON THAT WE TRUST

IT’S NOT ONLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW FOR WHOM WE WAIT

BUT TO KNOW WHO WAITS FOR US

AND AS THEY WALKED HOME TOGETHER

TO THE LIGHT OF CHRISTMAS TREES

THEY COULD NOT HELP BUT WONDER

ABOUT HOW THIS NIGHT CAME TO BE

WHILE BACK INSIDE THE ATTIC

THE GIRL SAW THEM WALKING THROUGH THE SNOW

AND SHE SMILED WITH A CHILD’S DELIGHT

THINKING HOW THEY WOULD NEVER KNOW

AND SUDDENLY SHE REALIZED

BENEATH THIS NIGHT OF STARS

SOMETIMES CHRISTMAS USES ITS OWN HANDS

AND SOMETIMES IT USES OURS
