from The Frozen Borderline: 1968-1970 (2007)
Selection made by Niko Skorpio:
It is a bonus track to the CD reissue of “The Marble Index”, not found on the original release.This song relates to the passing away of someone dear to me, and listening to it returns me to those events and that particular period of time. For me, the song has a permanent stamp of sadness and loss on it.
He came your way
And when he had to go
There were roses growing in the snow
Silently you’ll go to the shadow of your soul
And you know that it was like this before we had to go
You will never see these lights
Glowing in your nights
Until you feel this way
With every moon it is as though you’re getting closer to your soul
And then you go alone and with no fear
Then you will know
That it was like this before we had to go
And you will find that you were blind
Until you saw these lights glowing in your nights
He came your way
And when he had to go
There were roses growing in the snow
Silently you’ll go to the shadow of your soul
But you know it was like this before we had to go
You will never see these lights
Glowing in your nights
If you don’t know
And there are roses growing in the snow
