| [ KAI: | While it's a beautiful story for a winter's night
I confess I don't believe a single solitary word Still if horses could have wings Wouldn't you love to fly in a sleigh above the storm With a telescope and things And wave to the winter moon See the stars and all Up close and personal And fly to Spitzbergen And a castle by the sea? Hush Is that someone tapping at the windowpane? Hush Could be just the creaking of the weathervane How cold and strange is the song the North Wind sings And how like some wild bird with angel wings Is this beautiful lady at my window ] |
| SNOW QUEEN: | I'm cold
I've been cold for oh so long Ever since the first snowstorm whistled round the flue I need someone like you to keep me warm |
| KAI: | See how she beckons
How she beckons to me |
| SNOW QUEEN: | So cold
Shivering for eternity |
| KAI: | Like the waving limbs of a barren tree |
| SNOW QUEEN: | Freezing by an ice cream sea |
| KAI: | Can you believe how beautiful she is? |
| SNOW QUEEN: | My lips eternal blue |
| KAI: | So beautiful |
| SNOW QUEEN: | I need someone like you to stay with me |
| KAI: | When she sings I hear the wind blow
Rapping at the door and rattling the window |
| SNOW QUEEN: | The North Wind laughed when he told me where to find you |
| KAI: | Am I dreaming |
| SNOW QUEEN: | He's been round your house many times before |
| KAI: | While awake? |
| SNOW QUEEN: | Hasn't he nearly blown the chimney off your roof? |
| KAI: | With eyes open wide? |
| SNOW QUEEN: | Doesn't he wail and moan around the cracks in your red front door?
He loves the cracks in your red front door |
| KAI: | When I see through your eyes
We are lovers forever In a story untold |
| SNOW QUEEN: | And you'll never grow old |
| KAI: | Such a long time 'til never
Now just like some wild bird You fly away You fly away You fly away |
| SNOW QUEEN: | I'm cold |
