Icicles

Tonight I sing soft and low Just like the moon Over the snow I hear icicles falling in the dark We're just like anyone else We just want a little bit Of sun for ourselves And a little bit of rain To make it all grow Maybe a minute or two To get lost in the glow of love There's always someone throwing matches around Waving the shiny new knife The first to run when the house burns down I've seen it everyday of my life I must confess there appears to be Way more darkness than light I want to fall like a pearl To the bottom of the sea There no one will find us tonight Tonight It might look pretty bad We might lose everything We thought that we had But shadows will pass Smoke, it will clear If something survives of us around here I'll be glad 'cause I know I was lost in the glow Of love --- Icicles - Patty Griffin
