snow, when it melts

snow, when it melts
is slush that's sadly sober
like when the party's over
and you've only just arrived
snow, when it melts
is wet and cold and icy
I reckon it might be
time to start your car and drive

snow, when it melts
is a tiny bit pathetic
someone call the medic
I think there's something dying here
snow, when it melts
gets muddy-brown and ugly
couples don't get snugly
there's no holiday cheer

          you stay inside and watch TV
          try to ignore the family
          why the drinking? can't you see
          it's not yet new year's

snow, when it melts
needs some good befriending
it means winter might be ending
but then again
maybe no
snow, when it melts
returns into water
maybe you oughta
be thankful that it's so
after all,
it's just melting snow
