When you walk into town today and look around, everthing is at your disposal, everything is available, accessible, all is just a handgrip or click away. Snow is uncontrollable. You cannot order it. Cannot buy it. But you can be filled with wonder the moment you look out of your window in the morning and the whole world has turned white. "Imagine there is no one to feel" this anymore - what a sad world this would be.
lyrics
Boy in the snow
Fancy the boy who bought with his own pocket-money
a goldfish for no one to come round and see.
Picture yourself as a child in a raincoat
running straight up to the merry-go-round in the park.
Fancy there´s no one to feel
Fancy nobody may reel
like me when I imagine that boy trudging, enrapt in the snow
the snow on the fields,
the white snowfields glow,
I shiver and kneel
down in the snow.
Fancy the girl, the way she´s playing draughts,
stringing her kings at the rim of the board.
She never worries, she simply fancies
the way they´re lined up in a row on the board, she won´t draw!
Fancy, there´s no one to feel
Fancy, nobody may reel
like me when I imagine that boy trudging, rapt with the snow
the snow on the fields
the white snowfields glow,
he makes me just reel
the boy in the snow.
Foreign ´s the season he´s in,
no one to understand him,
no one to wonder like him at the snow covered fields,
no one to understand me yet somebody may feel.
Children´s Choir: Nanana……,
…the snow on the fields,
the ruddy cheeks glow
as glistening tears
fall in the snow.
Fancy the boy, his head leant at the window…-…pane!,
watching for someone to come round and see.
someone to come round and see.
See.
