Men of Snow

Ingrid Michaelson

Once I made a man all out of snow

He had the darkest eyes and a button nose

I told him all my sadness and my fear

And he just listened with a snowy ear

But when I came around the next day

My friend had gone and melted all away

I saw his eyes lying on the ground

And I made a sound that was something like crying

Oh, one day you will go away from this

Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow

We melt one day

Winters come and my love, the winters go

And time stacks up in piles like winter snow

And everything you love and hold so dear

It won't really matter when we disappear

Oh, one day you will go away from this

Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow

We melt one day

Oh, one day you will go away from this

Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow

We melt one day, you know, we're men of snow

We melt one day
