Poem I found from many many years ago about falling out with my best friend. Glad to say we are best friends again 8 years later, but always loved these lyrics! #pianoballad #fallingout #friendship #drivingmetaphor

Lyrics
Verse 1: You were patient with me Broken bottles in the sea Saltwater well above our knees But you were patient with me
Chorus: The snow piled up on the windshield Faster than the wipers could heave We moved the miles by inches You were patient with me We were evergreen
Verse 2: Look at the keepsakes we made And the photos I saved That flicker of light in your face Was the lantern on my darkest days
Chorus: The snow piled up on the windshield Faster than the wipers could heave We moved the miles by inches You were patient with me We were evergreen
Verse 3: We didn't rush But oh how we ran I made it out in the end But there's no making it without you my friend
Chorus: The snow piled up on the windshield Faster than the wipers could heave We moved the miles by inches You were patient with me We were evergreen You were patient with me We were evergreen

Beautiful combination of vocal (which seems torch-songy to me, in the best way), melody, piano and lyric. Has a classic sound, like I'd hear it in Barbra Streisand's repertoire. Well, well, done.

Oh gosh, the vocals just steal the show here, just gorgeous. Love the way you build in the motif about the windshield. Beautiful song and stunningly executed

Lovely piano rolling chords. Your voice is beautiful and I like the way you blend it with piano. Great job. Lyric is making me cry!

Beautiful melody with some lovely, touching piano arpeggios. Compelling stories. Way to go bringing back lyrics from the past. Well done.

Another beautiful song, Alice. That image of the snow and wipers is such a great example of being overwhelmed and not able to move but moving anyway. Such a great melody, and I love the way you sing it.
