"Oh young man! Young man!" - this is the snow talking - "Don't you dare cry in front of her! This is not your night, young man. She's gonna leave her with a slightly older guy. Not only are you young, you even look younger than you are. Just forget. Young man, just forget. It's just not your time."
Lyrics (first verse): Well when I was 14 years old In the Massachusetts cold Me and some older kids were walking after high school It was the wintertime, it was the wintertime And one of our party was a slightly older girl When she smiled at me Well I wanted to be All masculine for her and self-assured my voice was barely even changing at 14 Things weren't coming right out at all Yeah, I couldn't think of anything to say, I wasn't so good
Thank you @robsosin for the lyrics!

Lyrics (second verse):
When she smiled at me I wanted to be
All masculine and self-assured
The best I could come up with to say to her
Things a 14 year old comes up with to say to a 15 year old girl
And the very ice and snow just said, "Oh no, no, no"
[Chorus]

Lyrics (chorus):
The smell of her coat, the smell of her hair
In the cold New England air
And she smiled, and that got me thinking about her
Oh, the very ice and snow
Said "Young man, no,
You're just too young for that older girl"
La Lalalala Lalalalaaaaa
Oh Oh Oh Older Girl

Oh man... I've been wanting to hear this song again ever since I saw him sing it at the Bowery Ballroom a few years ago. Thanks for posting it.
