Antarctica(unplugged) |
LyricsAntarcticaA cold hand wipes the snow away The palette for the creeping dawn is limited to greys The scene a cold and misty day Is this Antarctica? Two lovers stand in silhouette His hand upon her shoulder in a gesture of regret He pleads for time, she shakes her head Is this Antarctica She used to love me, with no resistance Her kiss was soft and warm But now her hearts' as cold as ice I don't know what went wrong Melting dreams with stark ideals Words of condemnation with no thought of how we feel Freezing time, that we might heal Is this Antarctica? I used to love her with pure conviction My faith perhaps naïve But now I know that loves' as frail As snowflakes on the breeze Two lovers share their final kiss The footprints in the snow divorce, and vanish in the mist And the world goes through a temporal shift Is this Antarctica? She used to love me? |
