In the Snow

Now there’s a man in the distance

And you are driving the car

Now he is in the distance

No bag beside him no car

And you see he is complete

As a knock as a dog’s bark

But belonging only to himself

In the empty road in snow

Now there’s a man in the distance

And you are driving the car
