Snow in Whitechapel

Like summer snows in Whitechapel she fell from grace among the spires
And melted like an icicle, her spirit fed the wilted flowers
And now she's gone
Forever gone
I know she's gone

She wore her heart like jewellery; it sparkled in the slightest light
But love's deceptive cruelty deprived her of the will to fight
And now she's gone
Forever gone
I know she's gone

And the snow keeps falling like memories
Pretending that things could have been
So different, but I know my queen has gone

It lays its light over Whitechapel
As if to say "you were such a fool"
But even now, I find I call her name

And now she's gone
Forever gone
I know she's gone

A blanket of the purest white conceals the pain and dirt beneath
And if I had another life I'd do the same and feel the grief

Because she's gone
Forever gone
I know she's gone

And the snow keeps falling like memories
Pretending that things could have been
So different, but I know my queen has gone

It lays its light over Whitechapel
As if to say "you were such a fool"
But even now, I find I call her name
