Snowman

I don't feel much like dancing
You scrape the ice off my glances
We walk through a cold and moonless winter night
You recognize the coal in a snowman's eyes


Chorus
It's all right, it's okay, if I freeze I can't decay
You touch and I freeze, there is ice where my heart should be
I'm a snowman, cold is all I understand
I'm a snowman, if you can't hurt me no one can


Everything is fine
Nothing changes but the time
Life is easy when tomorrow's gone
I dream of snow, snow's where I belong

Chorus

And I must have a mind of snow
To stand and watch you as you go
And then turn to see this empty scene
And still not feel a thing

Chorus

Nerissa and David have said several times that this song was inspired by Wallace Stevens' poem The Snow Man--check it out!
