Captain Beefheart
Steal Softly Thru Snow
[Verse 1]
The black paper between a mirror breaks my heart
The moon frayed through dark velvet lightly apart
[Chorus]
Steal softly through sunshine
Steal softly through snow
[Verse 2]
The wild goose flies from winter
Breaks my heart that I can't go
Energy flies through a field
And the sun softly melts a nothing wheel
[Chorus]
Steal softly through sunshine
Steal softly through snow
[Verse 3]
The black paper between a mirror
Breaks my heart that I can't go
The swan their feathers don't grow, they're spun
They live two hundred years of love, they're one
Breaks my heart to see them cross the sun
[Verse 4]
Grain grows rainbows up straw hill
Breaks my heart to see the highway cross the hills
Man lived a million years and still he kills
The black paper between a mirror
Breaks my heart that I can't go
[Chorus]
Steal softly through sunshine
Steal softly through snow
