Out In The Snow Lyrics - A Beach Full Of Shells - Al Stewart

I walked out in the snow 

And left no mark upon the ground I trod 

The sky, heavy and low 

The exhalation of an Arctic god 

And I heard words meant for no one 

In the air, words out of nowhere 

And I saw all at once at my feet 

Unexpectedly, a shadow play 

I broke off on a floe 

And drifted aimlessly a hundred miles 

The wind, beginning to blow 

Carried me forward on this boat of ice 

And I saw things half imagined 

Far away, pictures and pageants 

That were lost in a moment like words 

From a langauge that I never knew 

And this voyage seemed to be haunted 

By a soul, lost and unwanted 

Destined to journey through time 

Always covered in a coat of white 

I walked out in the snow 

Never knowing what I came here for 

A dream from so long ago 

But we don't talk about it anymore
