Only snow can melt this heart of snow I freeze, for it's the only way I know To let go when I can't let go
Black crow against a yellow sky Black crow, down he fly Regard me with your onyx eye
Sing me a feathered lullabye Don't cry, shattered, don't cry Come, loose the knots I've tied And warm me from inside And melt this heart of snow
How long, o bird, how long Is there grace in ice and song For fire and silence don't belong
In a heart so set and cold Red tears run through this heart of gold It will beat in me a lifetime, I'm told
I clung to you but did not hold Clutching much will make you old If it takes the life I live I will learn how to forgive And melt this heart of snow
Cold anger feels good But in the end is like Taking poison and waiting for your enemy to die
Black crow, show me the night For you are dark as light is light And in this dark I gain my sight
Black crow, harbinger of sorrow The light beneath your wings is but a shadow Take me where sadness cannot follow
It took an army and an act of will to close the door But there goes your sorrow o'er the hill to fight another war Now the troops can all come in To light the hearth again And melt this heart of snow
