about
When you live up near the Arctic Circle amidst so much snow and ice, familiarity breeds vocabulary--in Finnish, for example, there are over 40 words for different types of snow. But sometimes you’re tongue-tied. Sometimes you only have one word for snow.
Global climate change will eventually render this metaphor into science fiction.

lyrics
lyrics:
in northern lands you gotta know
the thirty words for snow
sometimes it melts away so fast
when you want to last
softly how it lies on the earth
in helpless surrender
but don’t curse the sun
the spring made it show
you only have one word for snow
it’s up to you to conjure clouds
and coax their treasure down
every storm that never falls
would come if you could call
softly whisper an imperfect name
never are there two the same
but don’t curse the sun
the spring made it show
you only have one word for snow
you will walk through desert heat
never will you see
that exact splintered light
over fields of white
softy how you lay entwined
with a season so rare to find
but don’t curse the sun
the spring made it show
you only have one word for snow
one word for snow
in northern lands you gotta know
the thirty words for snow
sometimes it melts away so fast
when you want to last
softly how it lies on the earth
in helpless surrender
but don’t curse the sun
the spring made it show
you only have one word for snow
it’s up to you to conjure clouds
and coax their treasure down
every storm that never falls
would come if you could call
softly whisper an imperfect name
never are there two the same
but don’t curse the sun
the spring made it show
you only have one word for snow
you will walk through desert heat
never will you see
that exact splintered light
over fields of white
softy how you lay entwined
with a season so rare to find
but don’t curse the sun
the spring made it show
you only have one word for snow
one word for snow
