Paul Heaton - The Snowman lyrics

[Verse 1] Snowman doesn't really melt He just slowly falls apart 'Cause no-one built a snowgirl To heal his broken heart We walk through life like snowmen And gradually we melt 'Cause no one seems to understand The feelings that we felt I'll love somehow In this winter rain Left just hat and scarf Beneath the window pane [Chorus 1] Spring pops his head up From underneath the sheets And the cold and dark of winter Begins its long retreat Blossom brightly doffs his hat At everyone he greets And the love you showed for me Has come and gone [Verse 2] Guy Fawkes dummy roamin' town We beg for 50p Hold our freezing hands out thinkin' 'I wish this wasn't me' Carrot for a nose ain't bad Piece of coal for eyes A bunch for twigs for lovin' arms When nothin' can disguise This night is done I'm burning bright I'm up with snowman's heart Into the night [Chorus 2] Winter drops its silent leaves Like bombs upon a sun Like a swarm of bees, we embrace the breeze With nowhere left to run And the fly begins to yearn the warmth Of the web the spider spun And the love you showed for me Has come and gone [Outro] With hat and scruffy jacket Strangers pa** me by Comfort and November's here And it's time for us to die
