Falling Snow   |   December 15, 1995   |  Song # 247

It was dark but it was not yet late
We took a walk in the falling snow
Holding your hand
Made me feel like a very rich man
And we had nowhere we had to go.

You pulled my face close
Gave me a kiss
Your nose was cold
But your lips were warm…

Time itself seemed to have stopped for us
As the world got very quiet
As we held each other
Our breath hung in the air
And we became more than we had been…

You pulled my face close
Gave me a kiss
Your nose was cold
But your lips were warm…

Days come now, swifter than e’er before

and we sometimes stand bewildered
At the days come and gone
Already turned into song
What else is there left for me to say?

You pulled my face close
Gave me a kiss
Your nose was cold
But your lips were warm…

It is dark but it is not yet late
We take a walk in the falling snow
Holding Your hand
Indeed I’m a very rich man
And we have nowhere we have to go.

You pull my face close
Give me a kiss
Your nose is cold
But your lips are warm…

Commentary: I was scheduled to perform at a Westchester Arts Council Artist in Residence Program in Yonkers, NY in December of 1995. Because it was threatening to snow, no one showed up. I was under contract to provide an hour of music so I basically sat noodling on my guitar. At some point it started to snow and even though it was only 3:30 or 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon it got really dark and the snow came down heavier and started sticking. So I kind of channeled this song imagining what it might be like for an older couple to reminisce about a romantic walk in the snow they’d taken when they were young. And then thinking back on the time that had past and now talking a walk again  together and the love still being fresh and transformative. This is a song I just love to sing and though I had recorded it previously the tape it was on had gotten damaged. So in November I recorded it at Joe Mennonna’s studio in White Plains NY, not far from where I wrote it.

They love (your song) and ask to listen to it, ALWAYS.

My name is Cecile. I teach kindergarten at OMSD. I had the pleasure of using your song Together We Can Change The World to help my students make a difference in this wonderful world! They love it and ask to listen to it, ALWAYS.

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.
