I walked out in the snow 
And left no mark upon the ground I trod 
The sky, heavy and low 
The exhalation of an Arctic god 
And I heard words meant for no one 
In the air,words out of nowhere 
And I saw all at once at my feet 
Unexpectedly, a shadow play 

I broke off on a floe 
And drifted aimlessly a hundred miles 
The wind, beginning to blow 
Carried me forward on this boat of ice 
And I saw things half imagined 
Far away, pictures and pageants 
That were lost in a moment like words 
From a language that I never knew 

And this voyage seemed to be haunted 
By a soul, lost and unwanted 
Destined to journey through time 
Always covered in a coat of white 

I walked out in the snow 
Never knowing what I came here for 
A dream from so long ago 
But we don't talk about it anymore
