Kathy Mar Ice Lyrics

Ice Lyrics

Oh, my friend, I must admit I understand too well



How you can write such tender songs and wear that diamond shell



I see it happen far too much in this bleak world of ice



That those of us once burned by touch do not attempt it twice







Standing straight and forward on the fortress of the stage



You etch emotion on my heart, and turn another page



And though the songs are warm enough they never melt the snow



That gathers in your eyes each time that you step down to go







I know it doesn't matter, but I like you best without



The shards of ice that pull and prod and tear your feelings out



The glitter of your witty words that only slips away



Each time a spotlight melts your heart, and you begin to play







One day will it happen when I least expect it to



That ices will creep up on me and turn my feelings blue



And crystallize the patterns of my dealings with my friends



Is that the way this journey I am taking always ends







Verse 1
