Paroles

[Verse 1]
Snow is falling in Manhattan
In a slow, diagonal fashion
On the Sabbath, as it happens
Snow is falling in Manhattan
[Verse 2]
Oh, it looks like it might be a bad one
The good caretaker springs to action
Salts the stoop and scoops the cat in
Tests an icy patch for traction
[Verse 3]
And snow
Snow, snow, snow
Snow, snow, snow
[Verse 4]
Level's rising on the island
It shows no sign of soon subsiding
Drifting deeply down in Brooklyn
So much joy, it made it looking
[Verse 5]
Inside he's got a fire cracklin'
But on the couch, beneath an afghan
Lies an old friend he just took in
Seeking shelter from the cold wind
[Verse 6]
And snow
[Verse 7]
It's comin' down in smithereens
On Staten Island, Bronx, and Queens
It's blanketing the city streets
And the streets beneath are fast asleep
[Verse 8]
Songs build little rooms in time
And housed within the song's design
Is the ghost the host has left behind
To greet and sweep the guest inside
Stoke the fire and sing his lines
[Verse 9]
And
Snow, snow, snow
Snow, snow, snow
[Verse 10]
Snow is falling in Manhattan
Snow is falling in Manhattan
