City is Dark

I know nobody has heard it and I am sorry. I haven't got an internet connection, as a result of my computer losing it's mind with viruses. Thusly it may still be a month or so before I can regularly update my music shiz. So, here are the lyrics to the opening track, 'Blue Snowflakes Start Falling,' from City is Dark (Torch Songs & the Charred Remains):

A calm runs over us,
shimmering brilliant in a cold rush.
Flickering in headlights,
beaming into the park.
And girls with red scarves,
and red cheeks on white streets.
Girls with red scarves,
and red cheeks on white streets,
know that when blue snowflakes start falling on the cold streets,
that's where I'll be;
the city is dead 'til then.

The city is dead.
The city is dead 'til the winter comes.

A storm falls over us,
quivering silent in the cold slush.
Flickering in streetlights,
dark-yellow shining in the dark.
And girls with red scarves,
and cold feet on cold street.
Girls with red scarves,
and cold feet on cold streets,
know that when blue snowflakes start falling on the cold streets,
that's where I'll be;
the city is dead til then, anyway.
The city is dead.
The city is dead 'til the winter comes.

It was written in the fall obviously. Not a lot of exciting guitar parts, mostly vocal. Anyway I will post it when I can.
