lyrics
I remember when I first froze
I was buried in those winter snows
I couldn't move or turn about
My love was gone and I was crying out
That oh what I couldn't do
Was hold on love to you
Though I wanted to
So I held on in the cold
With my shadow growing tall
For I wanted you always
And I wanted you to stay
Why does my sun go down?
I feel you now
Though I couldn't then
The sun it took its time with me
And though it thawed me out and set me free
With what I stood to lose or stood to gain
I knew full well that I'd freeze again
Oh what I couldn't do
Was hold on to you
Though I wanted to
So I held on in the cold
While the world about me froze
For I wanted you always
And I wanted you to stay
