Icey Ice

Dawn; the sun breaks through the horizon
The sea lits up beneath it in one swift movement
The stars it carries sparkle oh what a sight
The sun's the reason it survives the tempestuous night
The sea reaches out to the brilliant beam
But everytime it gets close it turns to steam
Sometimes at night I hear it heaves a big sigh
Swaying the boats so vigorously that the young birds cry
There was a day, the sun never rose
The sea kept on waiting, the moon above glows
It never noticed, despite the rays the sun shares
It never needs the sea, it has always just been there
The sea never gave up till its waters were frozen
It has no heart but somehow it is broken
With all the burning torches that it has
The sun never again penetrated its stony depths
If I had known this time last year
That things would turn out in this way
Would I have believed it? Would I even try?
"One day she left without a word, she took away the sun"

Lyrics
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree."
"Don't put your faith in love, my boy," my father said to me,
"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."
Chorus:
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie,
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree,
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me.
Chorus
One day she left without a word, she took away the sun.
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
She left me for another, it's a common tale but true,
A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you.
Chorus
