The Girl Who Loves
(Lyrics)

The girl who loves the falling snow
Lifts up her eyes to skies so high.
Snow feels like sorrow, soft and slow,
A fleeting breath, a silent sigh.
The day emerges from the night,
Then fades again without a trace.
She does not sleep - she is alive- 
It’s only winter - cold, embraced.

She walks alone where no one knows,
Through endless night, through drifting cold.
She wants to find the truth untold -
The girl who loves, the girl who loves, the girl who loves…

The girl who loves the shining light
Reaches to touch the stars above.
Dawn melts away in silver flight,
Dissolving dreams, forsaking love.
A shadow follows where she treads,
A weary hound with longing eyes -
It falls before her, lost, unsaid,
Bound by a love it can’t disguise.

She walks alone where no one knows,
Through endless night, through drifting cold.
She wants to find the truth untold - 
The girl who loves, the girl who loves, the girl who loves…

She paints her world in shades of grey,
Where echoes whisper, fade away.
She carves her name in fleeting waves,
Steps upon water, blurred, erased…
The girl who loves the falling snow,
The girl who loves the shining light,
The girl who walks where shadows grow…
The girl who loves… the girl who knows…
