Down by the lake the ice began to thaw
Slowly warmed by the early spring's sun
It looked almost safe enough to cross
I tested it to see if it would hold
Left a single footprint in the snow
The second step carved a jagged hole
And I fell right through
You found me fighting off the deadly frost
Pulled me out and let me sleep it off
Wrapped up like a blanket in your arms
(Skin on skin for body warmth)
(A rush of blood to the core)
I was cold and blue in the lips
But you lit a little fire in your area hands
Kissed me so I'd close my eyes again
While you sang under your breath
(Tender touch to soothe and calm)
(Not unlike a mother's love)
(Songbird singing slow and soft)
(To the rhythm of a beating heart)
So say goodnight before I fall asleep
For parting words in case I never wake
Why'd it have to be me?
Walked out in a daze after dark
Bartender said I'd had enough, but
He couldn't fix a drink too strong
(Liquid courage and heavy smoke)
(Another couple for the road)
Stumbled my way back down to the bay
Not too far from where I was first saved
Will you be there this time if it breaks?
Just to bring me back from the brink
(Nothing gained and nothing lost)
(It’s still a line I’ve yet to cross)
(But I’m drunk and not myself)
(My bad luck has taught me well)
So when I go please don't forget my name
For a soul at rest to not have lived in vain
But why'd it have to be me?
And say goodnight before I fall asleep
For parting words in case I never wake
Dark wind blowing from the north
I'm shaking as I'm pulled ashore
Cold air crawling up my spine
I'm out of luck and out of time
Lay me down to watch the stars
Through the moon-roof of your car
Bring me home and dry my clothes
I’ll sleep so soundly, comatose
Count my blessings, say my prayers
As gentle fingers comb my hair
There's a halo over your head
Golden light so magnificent
How'd you find me? How'd you know?
It doesn't matter, I suppose
But I won't make the same mistake
Of tempting fate down by the lake
Never ever, not again
Never ever, not again
Never ever, not again
Never ever, not again
