lyrics
Snow Dusted Ponies
Here we traced all the tracks and the treads of your teens
Felt the wind on your face as you skated the sheet
Here we followed a fox as it danced in high beams
Watched the sun crack the sky behind a snow covered peak
Here you howled at the top of your lungs as we flew
Up the side of the mountain to the overlook view
Where I held on white-knuckled scared to open my eyes
As you took us all rattin’ for the very first time
And I understood what you were trying to say
About life in a northern town and the way
It can hold you, haunt you, live in the veins
And you’ll keep coming back when it whispers your name
Here you paced the floor like a wild caged beast
Here you looked to the sky and just longed to be free
Here you dreamt of a city by the shores of the sea
And you counted the days til you could finally leave
Here stood the ghost of a feeling you knew
That somewhere out “there” were others like you
And yeah you escaped but were you ever free
Because all roads lead back to your first memories
To the sound of fresh snow as it cracked under feet or
the ravens who huddled on lamp posts for heat
Or the snow dusted ponies on the side of the road
Searching for the fresh grass though its 40 below
For the feel of the word you say “family”
For the stories you write to hold your history
For your love letters written to the hurt, to the fear
To the ways you always say just what I need to hear
Here we traced all the tracks and the treads of your teens
Felt the wind on your face as you skated the sheet
Here we followed a fox as it danced in high beams
Watched the sun crack the sky behind a snow covered peak
Here you howled at the top of your lungs as we flew
Up the side of the mountain to the overlook view
Where I held on white-knuckled scared to open my eyes
As you took us all rattin’ for the very first time
And I understood what you were trying to say
About life in a northern town and the way
It can hold you, haunt you, live in the veins
And you’ll keep coming back when it whispers your name
Here you paced the floor like a wild caged beast
Here you looked to the sky and just longed to be free
Here you dreamt of a city by the shores of the sea
And you counted the days til you could finally leave
Here stood the ghost of a feeling you knew
That somewhere out “there” were others like you
And yeah you escaped but were you ever free
Because all roads lead back to your first memories
To the sound of fresh snow as it cracked under feet or
the ravens who huddled on lamp posts for heat
Or the snow dusted ponies on the side of the road
Searching for the fresh grass though its 40 below
For the feel of the word you say “family”
For the stories you write to hold your history
For your love letters written to the hurt, to the fear
To the ways you always say just what I need to hear
