Kathy Mar Ice
Oh, my friend, I must admit I understand too well
How you can write such tender songs and wear that diamond shell
I see it happen far too much in this bleak world of ice
That those of us once burned by touch do not attempt it twice
Standing straight and forward on the fortress of the stage
You etch emotion on my heart, and turn another page
And though the songs are warm enough they never melt the snow
That gathers in your eyes each time that you step down to go
I know it doesn't matter, but I like you best without
The shards of ice that pull and prod and tear your feelings out
The glitter of your witty words that only slips away
Each time a spotlight melts your heart, and you begin to play
One day will it happen when I least expect it to
That ices will creep up on me and turn my feelings blue
And crystallize the patterns of my dealings with my friends
Is that the way this journey I am taking always ends
Verse 1
