When christmas comes they clear the path The forest deeps and blossoms swoon A snow lamb waits beneath the hill Her frosted breath across the night One day you'll grow They saw her there one christmas eve If memory can be believed She sped away then crept back in And danced away and back again Kind children won't you follow me? Beyond the world into the trees Inside a clearing there she was They stumbled in on stars and moss The snow lamb spoke and dipped her eyes The valley bright with fire flies I've been a child a million years I saw the lord and kissed his tears
