The Snowman - Paul Heaton, Jacqui Abbott

Snowman doesn’t really melt

He just slowly falls apart

'Cause no-one built a snowgirl

To heal his broken heart

We walk through life like snowmen

And gradually we melt

'Cause no one seems to understand

The feelings that we felt

I’ll love somehow

In this winter rain

Left just hat and scarf

Beneath the window pane

Spring pops his head up

From underneath the sheets

And the cold and dark of winter

Begins its long retreat

Blossom brightly doffs his hat

At everyone he greets

And the love you showed for me

Has come and gone

Guy Fawkes dummy roamin' town

We beg for 50p

Hold our freezing hands out thinkin'

'I wish this wasn’t me'

Carrot for a nose ain’t bad

Piece of coal for eyes

A bunch for twigs for lovin' arms

When nothin' can disguise

This night is done

I’m burning bright

I’m up with snowman’s heart

Into the night

Winter drops its silent leaves

Like bombs upon a sun

Like a swarm of bees, we embrace the breeze

With nowhere left to run

And the fly begins to yearn the warmth

Of the web the spider spun

And the love you showed for me

Has come and gone

With hat and scruffy jacket

Strangers pass me by

Comfort and November’s here

And it’s time for us to die
