Snowdrift
(Malik Høegh, 1970)
Freezing in the snowdrift
Shivering while I’m waiting
My feet are cold — I long for you
Why did she lie to me?
Who does she think she is — to say:
I love you — I love you
I’m freezing — she didn’t show up
I can’t stand to wait any longer
But
I love her!
Freezing in the snowdrift
I walk away — falling through the snow
Exhausted — feeling like a stranger
Why did she lie to me?
Who does she think she is — to say:
I love you — I love you
I’m freezing — she didn’t show up
I can’t stand to wait any longer
But
I love her
