[length: 03:54]
[00:00.37]You came to me this morning
[00:03.48]And you handled me like meat
[00:07.01]You’d have to be a man to know
[00:08.77]How good that feels, how sweet
[00:13.30]My mirrored twin, my next of kin
[00:17.15]I’d know you in my sleep
[00:20.44]And who but you would take me in
[00:23.45]A thousand kisses deep
[00:27.19]
[00:29.87]I loved you when you opened
[00:32.57]Like a lily to the heat
[00:35.44]You see I’m just another snowman
[00:39.07]Standing in the rain and sleet
[00:42.67]Who loved you with his frozen love
[00:46.18]His second hand physique
[00:49.03]With all he is and all he was
[00:52.33]A thousand kisses deep
[00:56.48]I know you had to lie to me
[01:00.06]I know you had to cheat
[01:02.72]To pose all hot and high
[01:06.47]Behind the veils of shear deceit
[01:11.02]A perfect born aristocrat
[01:14.76]So elegant and cheap
[01:18.40]I’m old, but I’m still into that
[01:21.37]A thousand kisses deep
[01:25.11]
[01:29.53]I’m good at love, I’m good at hate
[01:33.66]It’s in between I freeze
[01:37.06]Been working out, but its too late
[01:39.91]It’s been to late for years
[01:44.79]But you look good, you really do
[01:48.83]They love you on the street
[01:52.12]If you were here I’d kneel for you
[01:55.97]A thousand kisses deep
[02:01.22]The autumn moved across your skin
[02:05.43]Got something in my eye
[02:08.44]A light that doesn’t need to live
[02:10.94]And doesn’t need to die
[02:15.09]A riddle in the book of love
[02:17.69]Obscure and obsolete
[02:20.79]To witness tear and time and blood
[02:24.96]A thousand kisses deep
[02:29.16]And I’m still working with the wine
[02:32.13]Still dancing cheek to cheek
[02:35.74]The band is playing Auld Laing Sine
[02:38.94]But the heart will not retreat
[02:42.92]I ran with Dez, I sang with Ray
[02:47.67]I never had their sweep
[02:50.78]But once or twice they let me play
[02:54.10]A thousand kisses deep
[02:58.34]I loved you when you opened
[03:00.30]Like a lily to the heat
[03:03.47]You see, I’m just another snowman
[03:07.56]Standing in the rain and sleet
[03:11.47]Who loved you with his frozen love
[03:15.27]His second hand physique
[03:18.23]With all he is, and all he was
[03:22.10]A thousand kisses deep
[03:26.03]But you don’t need to hear me now
[03:29.30]And every word I speak
[03:32.92]It counts against me anyhow
[03:36.03]A thousand kisses deep
