Lost In The Snow

(album: Halcyon Days - 2004)

Come on kids y'all come with me
Let's go looking for a Christmas tree
Across the river and through the woods
I've got my axe and it works real good

Such a strong boy, good hiker too
Eight years old, could arm-wrestle you
Fast as a horse and slick as a snake
We'll make it snappy won't be late

In the dimming light
On frozen ground I lay so helpless
No one else in sight
I'm so sure I just won't last much longer

Lost in the snow didn't know where to go
Don't know how to cook or how to sew
Maybe I'll make friends with the deer, who knows
They have problems too with this snow

In the dimming light
On frozen ground I lay so helpless
No one else in sight
I'm so sure I just won't last much longer

Got separated don't know how
They went straight and I went around
Thought we'd meet up by that ravine
I'm hoping this is where I was last seen

In the dimming light
On frozen ground I lay so helpless
No one else in sight
I'm so scared I just won't last much longer

Slogging through the snow waist deep
Digging, reaching, looking for me
Give your own a strong love
Compliments and great big hugs
Some thins always so hard to say
Pride and ego get in the way
With a little boy lost in the woods you see
Wish my mama would come find me
