We are ruled by a governing frost It melts beneath alcohol briefly and then bites back Breathe on panes of glass A circle appears before freezing again, aha And it's taking it's time Decree by reluctant Decree in night by night
So slow mountain, and doesn't it take it's time?
We are ruled by a governing frost It's as thin as a wedding veil Too heavy to lift for a kiss And a kiss brings warmth But not nearly enough to finish the thaw Call spring from 6 months in clothes This calls for bold, naked honesty Petrol, a match, and a torch
This snow is still melting and doesn't it take it's time? To lost almost all feeling, Jesus, didn't that take awhile?
Ohh, ohhh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Well, the snow may have melted but it covered all kinds of dirt Can take one brush east, start sweeping and we'll clear this up All the snow may have melted, but it covered all kinds of hurt If we take one brush east, start sweeping and we'll clear this up Clear this up
