When past sometimes takes you with soft hands   Forcelessly pulls you to your chair   Hides you away from these half days   Sunless at the end of the year      The air is like a knife cutting through you   A room in the house is always warm   Stretched out on the bathroom floor thinking   Of fair days your future may hold      Love comes like surprise ice on the water   Love comes like surprise ice at dawn   Love comes like surprise ice on the water   Love comes at dawn      Deprived of the light and of colors   The world ends at your window tree   Darkness creates these illusions   But pale days can teach you to see      Rain falls but no life is given   Weeks pass, no progress is made   Past sometimes takes you with soft hands   And all that surrounds you will fade      Love comes like surprise ice on the water   Love comes like surprise ice at dawn   Love comes like surprise ice on the water   Love comes at dawn
