Welcome back winter once again And put on your warm fuzzy sweater 'cause you'll feel much better when The snowflakes fall gently to the ground The temperature drops and your shivers freeze all the rivers around But I keep you warm If speed's a pro, inertia must be a con 'Cause the cold wind blows at precise rates when I've got my ice skates on If the roads were paved with ice that wouldn't thaw or crack I could skate from Maine to Nebraska then on to Alaska and back 'Cause you keep me warm Peer over the edge, can you see me? Rivulets flow from your eyes Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall And your lungs crystallize I'll travel the subzero tundra I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes And that's just the tip of the iceberg I'll do whatever it takes to change Farewell powdery paradise We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice Fingers failed us before they froze And frostbite bit down on all our toes Snowdrifts build up and enfold us As we wait out this winter storm So we snuggle close in the darkness And keep each other so warm
