lyrics

i know it's been a long time, baby i know
it's been a long time coming. i've been running in the snow
like an eskimo that's always alone on a crowded ledge at a rooftop show.
the day before my birthday, darling today i saw that girl from california.
she was at parade and said, "you know, it's been a long time,"
and i said, "i know," and everything was fine.
all that i remember, all that i can recall
is thinking there is no way i will ever forget but i will.
i still had to pay to stay in a hotel room when i flew to LA.
we are in bed again darling, once again in the bed,
i read somewhere that there was something that could clear my head.
i missed a shot to swim with the dead, and i forgot what she said,
well, i wish that i had met you any moment before i fell the linoleum floor
of the grocery store.
i know it's been a long time, baby i know
it's been long time coming. i've been running in the snow
like an eskimo looking for somewhere to go
where he can sing at the top of his lungs and no one will know.
you are on the ice and i'm buried below.
baby, i'm the ice and you're the falling snow.
