Story Behind The Song
I wanted to create suspense, like in a horror movie...An unseen evil lurking outside is my metaphore for the coming of winter.
Song Description
Living in Minnesota, winter can come pretty early. My personal gauge on how bad a winter will be is if it snows before Halloween.This song is about the chill of winter coming in and the inevitable first snow...and it's not even November.

Lyrics
Something in the air is stirring
I can feel a chill outside my window
Wake this moonless night
I can see my breath before me
And my fingertips are dry
Rousing a watchful eye
Fate is creeping in over the garden
Fear has made me white as a ghost
There used to be a flock of sparrows
Gathering seeds out by the willow
Now they've taken flight
Maybe I should heed the warnings
Maybe I should also go
When darkness grows
Fate is creeping in over the garden
Fear has made me white as a ghost
The snow is falling and it's not even November
