'01: Have You Seen It in the Snow? - The Magnetic Fields

They say this city is dirty and gray

But I think it’s pretty on a summer day

And on rainy nights

When the streets smudge the lights

It’s beautiful, you know

But have you seen it in the snow?

When every light has a halo

When it snows all night

And the world glows white

In the morning light, oh

Have you seen it in the snow?

They’ll tell you this town is an ugly thing

It’s all falling down and rebuilding

Neither stars nor sun

And I’ve never seen one rainbow

For rainbows go to Idaho

But have you seen it in the snow?

When every light has a halo

When it snows all night

And the world glows white

In the morning light, oh

Have you seen it in the snow?
