Everything But The Girl Frozen River Lyrics

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
