First Snow Lyrics - Phil Ochs

First snow on the autumn ground 

Covers grass where she once lay down 

Blanket of white, grass out of sight, 

Where did she go, tell me first snow. 

First snow cover my mistakes 

Cover the past with your flakes 

Perfect white sheet, beneath my feet 

I hurt her so, cleanse me first snow. 

First snow down you dart 

Cold as the winter, cold as my heart, 

Fall from the sky, please tell me why 

I let her go and lost her first snow. 

First snow down you fall 

I feel your heartbeat, I hear you call 

So I'll lay still, with autumn I go, 

Please hurry, first snow.
