lyrics

The day you stepped out
Was the day I walked in
And our hope
Sank slowly but surely

Like a polar bear on the arctic shelf
I drifted away
On the last great iceberg
All the Eskimos waved goodbye

And I learned in school
That white bears could swim
But now I’m truly fearing
That I might fall in

When this last shard of ice
Turns to oceans beneath
All my vices turn into
Are shadows out on the sea

And on the day that
It rained for a year
We all fell in love
With that warm Arctic fear
And as the last shard of ice
Drifted away
You know I truly thought
That we’d both, both be OK

Now an oak tree is bent
On the place where I sunk
You’ll forgive me for thinking
All those thoughts that I thunk

When the iceberg was sinking
And oh you were on my mind
But you didn’t come to save me from
Sinking this time

I remember my last breath
It was agony and defeat
You just sunk your last iceberg
You just sunk your last love

And if one day they find me
On underwater expeditions
They’ll say this one, this one oh
Lived out of his time.

And on the day that
It rained for a year
We all fell in love
With that warm Arctic fear
And as the last shard of ice
Drifted away
You know I truly thought
That we’d both, both be OK

And on the day that
It rained for a year
We all fell in love
With that warm Arctic fear
And as the last shard of ice
Drifted away
You know I truly hoped
That we’d both, both be OK
