Frozen

I know by heart each paving-stone on every street

And that the eyes of strangers are not mine to meet

The night is young and I have countless miles to trawl

But the glare of headlights shows me there is nothing there at all

Neon signs can't ever light the sadness at my heels

Nor empty voices make amends for all the joy that living steals

And thought the night is warm

It is the coldness that I feel

What does it take to make the loving start

I dreamed of love that I would find it by and by

That luck would change and like an eagle I would fly

High above the city lights we'd circle there

That you would float as one upon the summer air

With nothing left to weigh us down nothing to explain

That you would ask me where I hurt and soothe away the pain

Please let it happen now so I can start to live again

What can be done to warm a frozen heart

What does it take to make the loving start

How to keep the dream alive

To watch another night retreat another day arrive

And the light of morning still believe that love survives

What can be done to warm a frozen heart

What does it take to make the loving start
