The Tip of the Iceberg

Welcome back, winter once again

And put on your warm, fuzzy sweater

'Cause you'll feel much better when

The snowflakes fall gently to the ground

The temperature drops and your shivers freeze all the rivers around

But I keep you warm

If speed's a pro, inertia must be a con

'Cause the cold wind blows at precise rates

When I've got my ice skates on

If all the roads were paved with ice that wouldn't thaw or crack

I could skate from Maine to Nebraska, then on to Alaska and back

'Cause you keep me warm

Peer over the edge, can you see me? Rivulets flow from your eyes

Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall, and your lungs crystallize

I'll travel the subzero tundra, I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, I'll do whatever it takes to change

Farewell, powdery paradise

We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice

Fingers failed us before they froze

And frostbite bit down on all our toes

Snow drifts build up and enfold us

As we wait out this winter storm

So we snuggle close in the darkness

And keep each other so warm
