First Snow On Brooklyn Lyrics - Jethro Tull

I flew in on the evening plane 

Is it such a good idea that I am here again? 

And I could cut my cold breath with a knife 

And taste the winter of another life 

A yellow cab from JFK, the long way 'round 

I didn? t mind, it gave me thinking time before I ran aground 

On rocky memories and choking tears 

I believe it only rained 'round here these thirty years 

Now, it? s the first snow on Brooklyn 

And my cold feet are drumming 

You don? t see me in the shadows 

From your cozy window frame 

And last night, who was in your parlor 

Wrapping presents in the late hour? 

To place upon your pillow 

As the morning came

The thin wind stings my face, pull collar up 

I could murder coffee in a grande cup 

No welcome deli, there? s no Starbucks here 

A dime for a quick phone call could cost me dear 

And the first snow on Brooklyn 

Paints a Christmas card upon the pavement 

The cab leaves a disappearing trace 

And then it? s gone 

And the snow covers my footprints 

Deep regrets and heavy heartbeats 

When you wake you? ll never see the spot 

That I was standing on 

I flew in on the evening plane 

Is it such a good idea that I am here again? 

And I could cut my cold breath with a knife 

And taste the winter of another life

Now, it? s the first snow on Brooklyn 

And my cold feet are drumming 

You don? t see me in the shadows 

From your cozy window frame 

And last night, who was in your parlor 

Wrapping presents in the late hour? 

To place upon your pillow 

As the morning came 

Some things are best forgotten 

Some are better half-remembered 

I just thought that I might be there 

On your, on your Christmas night 

And the first snow on Brooklyn 

Makes a lonely road to travel 

Cold crunch steps that echo 

As the blizzard bites
