Feathers in the Snow
Feathers in the Snow

I always thought you'd always be
I never stopped to see the truth
But the day that you were taken
Was the day that I surrendered
the carelessness of youth
I never stopped to say goodbye
I didn't wait to watch you go
And all the words you never heard from me
Are drifting in the past
Like feathers in the snow
Chorus
Tell me did you guess
Tell me did you know
What lay inside my heart
Even though it didn't show
Even though it didn't show
And I kept it all inside
Through all the the fallen tears
And all the passing years
Love has never died
Sad you never got to see
Your children's children as they grew
Sadder still to think they will
never get a chance to know
The gentle man I knew
And now I take a look
At each beginning and each end
I realise the worth of
The time I spent on earth
With a father and a friend.
Moving – impeccable performance!
Beautifully poignant David. It made me quite tearful. Masterfully performed.
Beautiful song David, lovely structure, powerful lyrics and a great melody. An instant classic!
What a fantastic song David. You had me all the way through. Gorgeous guitar playing and singing. Another real quality song from you. Could go all the way.
Lovely song David. Some very nice rhymes in those lyrics – realise the worth, of the time I spent on earth. Played and performed beautifully as well.
What a really great song, performed so beautifully. The melody and lyrics perfectly entwined. Well done. A strong contender in this competition I sense. Good luck David.
Real!
