lyrics
We’re not the same dear as we used to be
The seasons have changed and so have we
And there was little we could say and even less that we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you
We buried our love in a wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained
But we stayed by it’s side as the days turned to weeks
As the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we’d speak
And when spring arrived we were taken by surprise
When the floes under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me
We’re not the same dear and it seems to me
There’s nowhere we can go with nothing underneath
And it saddens me to say what we both knew was true
That the ice was getting thinner under me and you
The seasons have changed and so have we
And there was little we could say and even less that we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you
We buried our love in a wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained
But we stayed by it’s side as the days turned to weeks
As the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we’d speak
And when spring arrived we were taken by surprise
When the floes under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me
We’re not the same dear and it seems to me
There’s nowhere we can go with nothing underneath
And it saddens me to say what we both knew was true
That the ice was getting thinner under me and you
