The Ice Hotel

Breakfast on the Morning Tram
Let's you and me go away to The Ice Hotel
The Caribbean's all booked out
And that's just as well
Once I'd have been much keener
On Barbados or Antigua
But just now I think the Arctic will suit us well
Let's you and me go away to The Ice Hotel

They've built it all with ice that's pure and clear
The sofas, the lobby
Even the chandelier
A thermostat guarantees a steady minus five degrees
What other place could serve our needs so well
Let's you and me go away to the Ice Hotel
Romantic places
Like Verona or Paris
They'll always lead you astray
You'd have to be a novice
To ever trust Venice
And those dreamy waterways
And what the tropics can do
I know only too well
So, let's you and me go away to the Ice Hotel
Heavy clothing at all times
Is the expected norm
Even candlelight at dinner

Is considered too dangerously warm
And when the time comes for us to sleep
We'll spread out our reindeer fleece
And curl up together
On an ice block carved for two
But then in the morning
Provided we've made it through
We'll step out together
To watch the sun rise over
That vast expanse of cold
And who knows if we're lucky
We may find ourselves talking
Of what future may hold
This is no whim of the moment
I want you to realise
Let's go away to that palace made of ice

Let's you and me go away to the ice hotel
The Bahamas are all booked out
And that's just as well
I don't think we're quite ready
For Hawaii of Tahiti
And we will be
Only time will tell
Let's you and me go away to The Ice Hotel
