[Intro] [Verse 1] Beneath the winter's crying veil I shed my skin of flesh and bone To stand upon the frozen trail A monument of ice alone No warmth inside this hollow chest No blood to curse with burning pain Just crystalline eternal rest And arms outstretched to greet the rain [Chorus] I want to be a walking snowman Cold and pure beneath the sky Let the winter winds console man Watch the world as I solidify No heart to break, no tears to fall Just silent white covering all [Verse 2] They burn with passion's wretched flame They bleed and cry and feel the ache I've grown too tired of the shame Of every bond that hearts can make Construct me from the purest snow Give me eyes of blackened coal Let freezing winds be all I know And winter claim my weary soul [Bridge] Carrot nose and button eyes Scarf of red against the white Standing under frozen skies Fading slowly in the night Melting when the spring arrives No one mourns these snowman lives [Verse 3] The children build me in their play Then leave me standing all alone I watch the seasons drift away My body melting to the stone No grave, no name, no final word Just water seeping in the earth The loneliest thing you've ever heard Is silence after snowman's birth [Outro] Walking snowman Cold and still Waiting on the winter hill Melting slow Fading white Disappearing in the night [End]
