Avalanche   Run Time: 5:37

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1998

winter's quiet loneliness
wraps itself against my will
it's a bit cold it's a bit tattered
but it's keeping out the chill

sure my main condition
is entirely my own choice
i just can't help but smile
whenever i hear Your voice

the pill was hard to swallow
but not quite as bitter as before
hey maybe it means i'm growing harder
i would be the last to know

God i wish that i was innocent wish i was innocent
at least i think i do
if i had her as a gift to bring
i would bring that gift to you

here comes the avalanche
all my path is covered
leave a light for the lovers

mercy there's a word
we could drown in every moment
splash across the rocks at five pm
and i can count all my components

no no this potion won't help anyone won't help anyone
to try and tell the truth
no no that key it won't unlock the door
to this prison cell or womb

i have a picture
wish it was a photograph
You were holding little children
right there upon Your lap

it's never cold in that picture
as far as i can tell
outside outside the rain has changed to snow
and it's frozen in the well

Did You Know?

Bill says, "I was a little kid in Catholic school... and those beautiful stain-glass toned poster-size pictures that the nuns showed us... those were the loudest sermons and expressions of God's love for me that I ever heard... and it was precisely that particular picture I was thinking of when I wrote that line..."

Appeared On…
