Sarah McLachlan
Ice (Freedom Sessions)
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I think you worried for me then
The subtle way 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
[Chorus]
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 is here to stay
[Verse 3]
I don't like your tragic sighs
As if your god has passed you by
Well, hey fool, that's your deception
Angels speak with jilted tongue
The serpent's tale has come undone
You have no strength to squander
[Chorus]
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 is here
[Post-Chorus]
You're in my heart
You're in my soul
You're in my dream come true
And don't I lie
And don't I love
And don't I dream
[Outro]
The ice is thin, come on, dive in
Underneath my lucid skin
The cold is lost, forgotten
