Ice on the River
Ice on the river, make me a road
The colder the weather, the sooner I'm home
Snow on the heather takes hold of my legs
But the colder the weather, the shorter the fence
You thought it would be softer
You thought it would be soft
You thought it would be softer
But that won't hold you up
Eater of daylight, stealer of strength
But the longer the dark night, the deeper your rest
Oh gift of the winter, like a palm in a fist
Oh the sweeter the centre, the tougher the skin
You thought it would be softer
You thought it would be soft
You thought it would be softer
But that's not hard enough
No that won't hold you up
Now that all the leaves are gone
All the leaves are gone
Now that all the leaves are gone
I can see the sun coming up
On my bedroom walls
And it's been so long
The colder the weather, the sooner I'm home
Snow on the heather takes hold of my legs
But the colder the weather, the shorter the fence
You thought it would be softer
You thought it would be soft
You thought it would be softer
But that won't hold you up
Eater of daylight, stealer of strength
But the longer the dark night, the deeper your rest
Oh gift of the winter, like a palm in a fist
Oh the sweeter the centre, the tougher the skin
You thought it would be softer
You thought it would be soft
You thought it would be softer
But that's not hard enough
No that won't hold you up
Now that all the leaves are gone
All the leaves are gone
Now that all the leaves are gone
I can see the sun coming up
On my bedroom walls
And it's been so long
