 Were not the same, dear

 As we used to be

 The seasons have changed

 And so have we

 And there was little we could say

 And even less that we could do

 To stop the ice from getting thinner

 Under me and you

 We buried our love

 In a wintery grave

 A lump in the snow

 Was all that remained

 Though we stayed by its side

 As the days turned to weeks

 And the ice kept getting thinner

 With ever word that we'd speak

 And when the spring arrived

 We were taken by surprise

 When the flows under our feet

 Bled into the sea

 And nothing was left

For you and me

 Were not the same, dear

 And it seems to me

 There's nowhere we can go

 With nothing underneath

 And it saddens me to say

 What we both knew was true

 That the ice was getting thinner

 Under me and you

 The ice was getting thinner

 Under me and you
