Blizzard

from Miles of Snow by Ben Kreader

lyrics

it's been a blizzard of mail, a paper flurry of hail
empty envelopes ice my door
all the sweepstakes that lie that I’ve won the big prize
don’t know what you done me for

did I win? did I lose? do I care that you used me?
paper debris offers nothing for me that’s from you

calm this blizzard in my soul
whistling as the wind whips through a great hole
calm this blizzard in my soul
empty as my ribs grip through a great cold
calm this blizzard now
the day you left you froze my heart straight out

so help me baby, gonna drive these blues away
gonna get in my car, I’m gonna drive real far
‘till your voice just fades to gray

but I turn on the car and the radio's on
and you come through anyway

over the mountain with a plow all I can see
when my words hit the windshield my breath turns to ice
and I melt it with the back of my sleeve

I am lost, I am sad and I think I’ve been had
but I want you so bad that I'm frozen into this repeat

calm this blizzard in my soul
whistling as the wind whips through a great hole
calm this blizzard in my soul
empty as my ribs grip through a great cold
calm this blizzard now
the day you left you froze my heart straight out

froze my heart straight out
froze my heart straight out
froze my heart straight out

well I made me a plan
never gonna love a man like you
ever again
