Frozen River

I've never been skating on a frozen river Joni and Jane make it sound so cool Sometimes I can get so down it seems Nothing much is gonna turn me around They could freeze the brook outside my home But it's only small, not like the Hudson Where I'd be clean away, the only one Down through winter trees, on a smooth run on a frozen river But look at me now I'm getting to you And all afternoon you have been so bright "No use turning good into bad" At times like this you are always right And the snowdrops are through, I never knew And my oldest jokes still have you reeling I'll put the troubles I find to the back of my mind Sometimes my love has the craziest feeling like a frozen river Half the world will sleep alone tonight Friends of mine as well Half the world are on their own tonight Friends of mine as well There's a river below this bright night sky So full of stars, it's the best for ages Where I stand in the lane, having shut off the car Just hearing your wonder like a frozen river You're like a frozen river
