True story..

lyrics

Snow Came Down

Me and my father on a bicycle on an open road
Me hiding deep down inside my father's coat
Riding up a black hill that is turning white
As the river below freezes over tonight

The night the snow came down

Leaving my granny at the kitchen door
There's a voice on the radio saying snow will fall
We leave that village and its burning lamps
We climb the hill as the sky turns black

That was the night my grandfather came home
through two fields of snow
Leaving the cattle breathing hard and low
The tractor seat was covered in ice
and the nettles were frozen over that night


That was the night the snow came down
without a sound

1963

If you’ve ever dreamt of Daniel Johnston doing an impression of Conor Oberst singing Jeff Tweedy songs,
then you must listen to this.
