Ice and Snow

Ice and snow, ice and snow falling in time
Together, they mingle and freeze
Ice and snow, just like shade and the light
It's the blinding confusion when the two of them meet
Ice and snow, ice with snow, weary, I know
But a fortress is not a reprieve
If I could melt ice and snow, would you believe
That I would choose not to, to keep you with me?
Souls and the shadows, arms stretched to believe
Ghosts and the messengers sent to receive
Slip through the grasp with the greatest of ease
Lovely, just lovely til I rest at ease
Ice and snow, ice and snow, when it's the worst
You get the best of them both
Ice and snow, ice and snow inside this fortress
But cold and alone makes no heart-worthy home
Souls and the shadows, arms stretched to believe
Ghosts and the messengers sent to receive
Slip through the grasp with the greatest of ease
Lovely, just lovely til I rest at ease
Souls and the shadows, ice over snow
Once in a life, just a few more to go
The start and the end, you know, nobody knows
But part of life's living when anything goes
Ice and snow, ice and snow falling in time
Here one day, the next day it's gone
If I could melt ice and snow, would you believe
That I would choose not to, to keep you with me?
That I would choose not to, to keep you with me?
