今年冬天的雪又一次迟到了,不过来的倒是挺准时的,昨天是冬至,而这第一场雪就在冬至第二天的凌晨飘然而至了。
雪很小,甚至都不能把屋顶铺满,但雪后清晨的寒冷真的让人感到了冬天真实的存在。一直习惯了南方细雨相伴的阴冷的冬天,这种北方冬天实实在在的冷让我在一瞬间有了一种久违的感觉。已经很多年没有见过雪了,每每到了冬天眼前总是会闪现出很小的时候,到了过年总是会下几场雪,很大的那种,可以到公园拍雪景,可以在院子里堆雪人,可以和很多小孩子一起打雪仗….现在想想那好像已经是十几年前的事了,不知道在以后厄尔尼诺越来越严重的冬天还能不能再看到那么美丽的雪景….
突然想起了Tori Amos的一首歌,关于冬天的《snow can wait》,不知道冬天会不会真的像歌中写的那样唯美浪漫….
Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose Get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father’s glove
I run off where the DRIFTS GET DEEPER
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice “You must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can’t always be around” He says
when you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna CHANGE so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I’ll always want you near
You say that things change my dear
Boys get discovered as winter MELTS
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I’m here still waiting
Withering where some snowman was
Mirror mirror where’s the crystal palace
But I only can see myself
SKATING around the truth who I am
But I know ,dad ,the ice is getting thin
Hair is grey and the fires are burning
So many dreams on the shelf
You say I wanted you to be PROUD of me
I always wanted that myself
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the WHITE HORSES have gone ahead
I tell you that I’ll always want you near
You say that things change my dear
Never change All the white horses
