[length: 03:54]
[00:00.04]You came to me this morning
[00:02.91]And you handled me like meat
[00:06.28]You’d have to be a man to know
[00:08.61]How good that feels, how sweet
[00:12.12]My mirrored twin, my next of kin
[00:15.84]I’d know you in my sleep
[00:19.44]And who but you would take me in
[00:22.71]A thousand kisses deep
[00:29.45]I loved you when you opened
[00:31.89]Like a lily to the heat
[00:34.53]You see I’m just another snowman
[00:38.16]Standing in the rain and sleet
[00:41.75]Who loved you with his frozen love
[00:44.10]His second hand physique
[00:48.13]With all he is and all he was
[00:51.26]A thousand kisses deep
[00:55.38]I know you had to lie to me
[00:59.05]I know you had to cheat
[01:02.17]To pose all hot and high
[01:05.40]Behind the veils of shear deceit
[01:10.17]A perfect born aristocrat
[01:13.83]So elegant and cheap
[01:17.41]I’m old but I’m still into that
[01:20.88]A thousand kisses deep
[01:29.16]I’m good at love, I’m good at hate
[01:32.23]It’s in between I freeze
[01:35.61]Been working out, but its too late
[01:39.55]It’s been to late for years
[01:44.12]But you look good, you really do
[01:47.88]They love you on the street
[01:50.92]If you were here I’d kneel for you
[01:55.37]A thousand kisses deep
[02:00.88]The autumn moved across your skin
[02:04.60]Got something in my eye
[02:07.87]A light that doesn’t need to live
[02:10.30]And doesn’t need to die
[02:14.23]A riddle in the book of love
[02:16.71]Obscure and obsolete
[02:19.81]To witness tear and time and blood
[02:23.98]A thousand kisses deep
[02:28.51]And I’m still working with the wine
[02:31.86]Still dancing cheek to cheek
[02:34.95]The band is playing Auld Laing Sine
[02:38.75]But the heart will not retreat
[02:42.35]I ran with Dez and I sang with Ray
[02:46.59]I never had their sweep
[02:49.93]But once or twice they let me play
[02:53.52]A thousand kisses deep
[02:58.04]I loved you when you opened
[03:00.09]Like a lily to the heat
[03:02.84]You see I’m just another snowman
[03:06.91]Standing in the rain and sleet
[03:10.53]Who loved you with his frozen love
[03:14.13]His second hand physique
[03:17.49]With all he is, and all he was
[03:21.37]A thousand kisses deep
[03:25.76]But you don’t need to hear me now
[03:28.49]And every word I speak
[03:32.03]It counts against me anyhow
[03:35.57]A thousand kisses deep
