Melting The Ice Away

(album: Islands - 1984)

The frozen north sits high above the west
Nobody lives there only the polar bear
The bleak terrain is no place to rest
The howling winds, sounding so familiar

Snow melting the ice away
Snow, snow, snow falling from miles away
Snow falling from miles away
Snow, snow, snow melting the ice away

Don't shed no tears for me
Go put your trust in someone else
No hopes no fears for me
Void of emotion, nobody spoils no one's devotion

A moment's panic captured in a warm embrace
Just my breath gently blowing up at my face
I get so restless sleeping on a precipice
Dreamt the snow melting the ice

Snow melting the ice away
Snow, snow, snow melting your ice away

Don't shed no tears for me
Go put your trust in someone else
No hopes no fears for me
Void of emotion, nobody spoils no one's devotion
The cold comes here for me
This place looks like my kind of hell

Ooh ah ah ah ooh

Don't shed no tears for me
Go put your trust in someone else
No hopes no fears for me
I blame nobody but myself
No hopes no fears
Don't shed no tears
Don't do no waiting for me
No hopes no fears
Don't shed no tears
Don't do no waiting for me
Don't shed no tears for me
Go put your trust in someone else
