about

Written by Duane Jarvis and Mark Davis. It's been very rare in my songwriting career that i've written music to someone else's finished words, but this is one time when this did happen. Duane shyly handed me this "poem" he had written. I liked it and took it home. The music came instantly, effortlessly later that night. Just like that!

lyrics

slept in a cold dark room last night/had a full dose of dreams until the light/you were talking to me telling me we had plenty/i was feeling like we didn't have any/it's not a greeting card sentiment that i know/love slips away like a dove in the snow/walking through the little town where we met/past the tavern where my uncle jack used to bet/past the ships and the shivering pilot boats/standing there shaking wish i'd brought my coat/it's not a greeting card sentiment that i know/it's not a greeting card sentiment that i know/love slips away like a dove in the snow/like a dove in the snow/how it got here i just don't know/while i watch my whole life fade to white/talking to the lady who bought dominic's store/she tells me when i ask she don't see you no more/i fake a smile when i'm asked how i'm doing/how could i tell her my life's in a ruin?/it's not a greeting card sentiment that i know/it's not a greeting card sentiment that i know/it's not a greeting card sentiment that i know/love slips away like a dove in the snow
