This was started as an exercise for a JPF Chapter meeting last winter. Finally got it a little more coherent...

ICE
Marty Helly c. 2004

V.1
Its a cold February night
Wind chills setting record lows
Here inside it feels worse
Sitting next to you
The chill runs through my soul

Ch.
Your heart turned to ice
Eyes a frosty glare
Skin numb to my touch
Flame that burned isn't there

V.2
We met in the heat of summer
Passion hot as the high noon sun
Then leaves died and fell
I was under your spell
Didn't see what's to come

V.3
December the cold crept in
Arctic winds bringing sleet and snow
As the river glazed over
So did your heart
The love there ceased to flow

CH.
Your heart turned to ice
Eyes a frosty glare
Skin numb to my touch
Flame that burned isn't there

T.
Will spring soften the hardened heart
Or will we just melt away

Is there a setting on the digital delay that will allow me to think before I speak?

Thanks for the comments Shayne

As the chill ... feels to me like it could separate the chill from sitting next to you - like its caused more by the weather than the emotions.

The last line of verse 2 is something I keep stumbling over - your wording may help.

In the tag at the end, I've been thinking of using frozen heart in lieu of hardened heart. The lyric used to have the term "Ice" appear more often but it didn't sing well.

Latest update - mostly minor changes - will try to get the sound version posted soon. This one went over extremely well in its first public performance. Didn't hurt that it was a cold snowy night.

Wind chills setting record lows
Here inside it feels colder
Lying next to you

The chill runs through my soul

Ch.
Your heart turned to ice
Eyes a frosty glare
Skin numb to my touch
Flame that burned isn't there

V.2
We met in the heat of summer
Passion hot as the high noon sun
Then leaves died and fell
under your spell
Couldn't see what's to come

V.3
December the cold crept in
Arctic winds bringing sleet and snow
As the river glazed over
So did your heart
The love there ceased to flow

CH.
Your heart turned to ice
Eyes a frosty glare
Skin numb to my touch
Flame that burned isn't there
