lyrics

ICICLE, ICICLE ~ lyrics (capo 2, as: Am Dm Am Em)
(~KEEP TEMPO SLOW, DELICATE AND STEADY ~)

true key of Bm : // Bm Bm EmBm F#m //

Icicle icicle in the night
Spring is come tomorrow, hey!
Time resumes its feathered flight
All things young must pass this way

Can you catch a falling star
hold it in your hands and say
“this is mine but for a time”—
all things new grow old one day

Snowflake spinning thru the sky
will these patterns pass away?
Sunlight rides on leaf-light wings
dreaming of the coming Spring/day

(Time is but a passing veil
fallen ‘cross the eyes of day
parts a curtain in the mind ~
in the end return to clay)

Icicle icicle in the night
Spring is come tomorrow, hey!
Time resumes its feathered flight
All things young must pass this way

Snowflake spinning thru the sky
Wheels turning in the eye

will these patterns pass away?

Sunlight rides on leaf-light wings

put your hopes and dreams away
set your hopes and dreams as d...

join the currents in the deeps
join the currents deep and wide

dreaming of the coming Spring May/day
