  • I'm walking on my own it's 1993
    The heavy snow is falling like an angel over me
    I see it all through a video camera filter
    It feels so real like cheap golden glitter

    There are no holes in my recollections
    Time has stopped and is perfectly frozen
    These days may never come again
    My optimism resembles a dying flame

    It's still snowing, snowing in Sapporo
    Still breaking in my heart
    It couldn't last without the hurt, without the hurt

    It's still snowing, snowing in Sapporo
    Still breaking in my heart
    It couldn't last without the hurt, without the hurt

    We flew into the darkness and landed in the night
    Through cloud and fog we glimpsed the neon lights
    With make-up running eyes turned towards the sky
    Our hands all gripped together holding on so tight

    We put our bodies on the line
    Built a mountain we could never climb
    How could four become so strong
    Yet break and leave too soon, too soon

    It's still snowing, snowing in Sapporo
    Still breaking in my heart
    It couldn't last without the hurt, without the hurt

    It's still snowing, snowing in Sapporo
    Still breaking in my heart
    It couldn't last without the hurt, oh, without the hurt

    It's still snowing, snowing in Sapporo
    Still breaking in my heart
    It couldn't last without the hurt, without the hurt

    Oh, it's still snowing, snowing in Sapporo
    Still breaking in my heart
    The four of us against the world, oh, against the world Writer/s: James Dean Bradfield, Nick Jones, Sean Moore
