He is skating on a river That's been frozen since December He's a soldier on a river off to war
And he just received his orders They're in his pocket with his quarters But they never cut his leave like this before
And his buddies know he's crazy But They'll meet him by the bridge And he has the light of more than half the moon
He skated nights when he was younger Though he always knew the danger But it seems so much is here and gone so soon
And the ice talks to the river And the geese talk to themselves Will they fly all night if there's no place to land?
A place to land is open water And open water he can't use When it's hard enough to find a place to stand
When the ice gives in beneath you You know it changes how you dream And you will never be the same again
He's going where there is no winter The only ice is in his veins He may kill someone who's face he'll never see
He always knew he'd be a soldier Since his parents could remember Now he's skating down this temporary road
He is skating on a river That's been frozen since December He's a soldier on a river off to warTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
