paroles de chanson The Igloo Song - Jesse Rivest

You're a mason in this autumn light
And I've chopped wood to stoke your fire bright
Putting covers on the bed with hibernation in your head
And Orion's jewels at your bedside

Now come pass these winter days and see
How a snowman lives eccentrically
Here's hot whiskey for your toes and your maraschino nose
We'll hang icicles from our fir trees

We'll keep warm here as these blizzards blast
Though you're used to brick and double glass
It's a miracle of ice—the muffled crunch of sacrifice
We'll forget about the world so fast

I built this house of ice and snow
When the birdsong comes I'll have to go
See these sculptures of our glistening dreams
Melt away with tears of yesterday

I built this house of ice and snow
It's the only way I've ever known
Now our thawing hopes and crystal dreams
Are just fleeting streams of yesterday

Now you're dusting all the drawers and shelves
Here's some space if you'll just help yourself
Pulling covers from the bed with spring cleaning in the head
And the winds are drifting something else

I built this house of ice and snow
It's the only way I've ever known
See these sculptures of our glistening dreams
Melt away with tears of yesterday
Now our thawing hopes and crystal dreams
Are just fleeting streams of yesterday
