The Ice Tree Lyrics

Gravenhurst The Ice Tree

At six in the morning
the ice in the tree
thaws into the millpond
returns to the deep

I caress where my lover
once lay by my side
before i turned inwards
and forced her to fly

We try to connect with
the people outside
they pass through our slumber
like trains in the night

I caress where my lover
once lay by my side
before i turned inwards
and forced her to fly

After the cold night
the raindrops that froze
melt into the thin air
like the footsteps of ghosts

I caress where my lover
once lay by my side
before i turned inwards
and forced her to fly

For she could not know me
for i know not myself
and without understanding
love isn’t enough
