surprise ice

Singer:kings of convenience

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 bathroomfloor

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 colours

the world ends at your windowtree. 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.
