And I remember her on the streets of New York City
  As I walked the night needing some place warm to go
  As she passed I said "Hey there's snowflakes on your lashes"
  And she laughed and said, "That isn't snow"
  
  She said, "they're feathers from a pillow God is shaking in the sky"
  And she opened smiling lips to catch a snowflake blowing by
  And we both began to laugh and then I looked into her eyes
  And it was warm again
  
  But
  I never got to know her very well
  All we did was spend a little time
  You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
  She's just a passing shadow on my mind
  
  But I remember her as we woke up warm together
  In her sunlit room, and she said, "I'll help you pack"
  And she sewed my shirt and I said, "I'll stay forever"
  But she laughed and put some cookies in my sack
  
  And she said "Leave a trail of cookie crumbs as you walk through the snow
  And someday I'll follow after and I'll find you where you go"
  And I left her in her doorway but why I'll never know
  But I was younger then
  
  So
  I never got to know her very well
  All we did was spend a little time
  You're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
  She's just a passing shadow on my mind
  
  Oh you're waiting for a story but there's really none to tell
