Icicles - Patty Griffin

Tonight I sing soft and low

Just like the moon over the snow

I hear icicles falling in the dark

In the dark

We’re just like anyone else

We just want a little bit of sun for ourselves

And a little bit of rain to make it all grow

Maybe a minute or two to get lost in the glow of love

There’s always someone throwing matches around

Waving the shiny new knife

The first to run when the house burns down

I’ve seen it every day of my life

I must confess there appears to be

Way more darkness than light

I want to fall like a pearl to the bottom of the sea

Where no one will find us tonight

Tonight it might look pretty bad

We might lose everything we thought that we had

But shadows will pass

Smoke, it will clear

If something survives of us around here

I’ll be glad 'cause I know

I was lost in the glow of love
