The Snow Came Down
<blockquote>Behind that single letter
Was a weathered photograph
Of that man in the article
But from somewhere in his past
And standing there beside him
In a setting summer sun
Was the lady who used to own this house
Only here she was quite young
She had moved to a smaller place
That was only right next door
And then the child noticed something else
That she had missed before
This letter had no stamp it seemed
And was surely never sent
And as she sat upon the floor
That child she wondered what it meant
Then the Angel whispered to her
A most important fact
That for compassion to be real
It requires one to act
Then once again that child came up
With a child's idea
But she knew she must act fast
For time, it was growing dear
So taking that article back downstairs
She found the kitchen phone
And called up information
To find the number of his home
And when he picked up the receiver
She quickly told him quite enough
To know who was waiting on this night for him
And then the child, she just hung up
Then to make sure that no one was awake
She took a quick look down the hall
Then she found her neighbor's number
And repeated that same call</blockquote>
<h4>The Snow Came Down</h4>
A railway station
On a long forgotten line
No destination
But it always leaves on time
He buys his ticket
As the train prepares to leave
Don't want to miss it
On this night Christmas Eve
He stared into the night no expectations
He watched the world go by without a sound
He saw the city lights arrive and fade away
While all that night
All that night
The snow came down
No conversation
As the snow fell from the sky
His consolation
That the world is well disguised
He stared into the night no expectations
He watched the world go by without a sound
He saw the city lights arrive and fade away
While all that night
All that night
The snow came down
He stared into the night, no expectations
But in his heart he wanted to believe
That somehow someone would be waiting there
Upon this Christmas Eve
And when his train it pulled into that station
He saw there was a single pair of tracks
Within the snow and leading to that
Station door
And he followed those steps back
And on this night of our salvation
Where dreams that have been lost
Can there be found
They walked away together
On that Christmas Eve
While all that night
All that night
The snow came down
