Gord Downie - Snowflake Lyrics

I remember one day
We walked up to the highway
And you held my hand
We walked along the highway
And it ran beside the lake
So big, so flat, so great
You held my hand
On along the highway

We got to an old stone home
It stood out so all alone
Against a great field
All covered with snow
And I don't remember who
The woman you introduced me to
Or why we were there
Or what we were there to do

She told me to go explore
The quiet rooms, the cold floors
I froze upstairs, I heard a voice
From a room closed with a locked door
And then from downstairs, I heard my name
You said, "it's time we got going"
The woman leaned in to say goodbye
From I don't remember his name

I remember that day
The gray lake, the highway
How you held my hand
We walked home through snowflakes
