Men of Snow

Once I made a man all out of snow
He had the darkest eyes and a button nose
I told him all my sadness and my fear
And he just listened with a snowy ear.

But when I came around the next day
My friend had gone and melted all away
I saw his eyes lying on the ground
I made a sound that was something like crying.

Oh, one day you will go away from this
Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow
We melt one day.

And winters come and my love, the winters go
And time stacks up in piles like winter snow
And everything you love and hold so dear
Won't really matter when we disappear.

Oh, one day you will go away from this
Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow
We melt one day.

Oh, one day you will go away from this
Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow
We melt, you know, we're men of snow
We melt one day.
