Ice

Music and Lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

The ice is thin
come on dive in 
underneath my lucid skin
the cold is lost, forgotten
Hours pass days pass
time stands still
light gets dark
and darkness fills my secret heart forbidden,,,
I think you worried for me then
the subtle ways that I'd give in
but I know you liked the show
tied down to this bed of shame
you tried to move around the pain
but oh 
your soul is anchored
The only comfort is the moving of the river
You enter into me 
A lie upon your lips
offer what you can
I'll take all that I can get
only a fool's here...

I don't like your tragic sighs
as if your god has passed you by
well hey fool
that's your deception
Your angels speak with jilted tongues
the serpent's tale has come undone
you have no strength to squander
The only comfort is the moving of the river
you enter into me
a lie upon your lips
offer what you can
I'll take all that I can get
only a fool's here to stay
only a fool's here to stay
only a fool's here...
