Patty Griffin - Icicles lyrics

Tonight

I sing soft and low

Just like the moon

Over the snow

I hear icicles falling in the dark

We're just like anyone else

We just want a little bit

Of sun for ourselves

And a little bit of rain

To make it all grow

Maybe a minute or two

To get lost in the glow of love

There's always someone throwing matches around

Waving the shiny new knife

The first to run when the house burns down

I've seen it everyday of my life

I must confess there appears to be

Way more darkness than light

I want to fall like a pearl

To the bottom of the sea

There no one will find us tonight

Tonight

It might look pretty bad

We might lose everything

We thought that we had

But shadows will pass

Smoke, it will clear

If something survives of us around here

I'll be glad 'cause I know

I was lost in the glow

Of love
