The Ice Is Getting Thinner lyrics

We're not the same, dear, as we used to be.

The seasons have changed and so have we.

There was little we could say, and even less we could do

To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.

We bury our love in the wintery grave

A lump in the snow was all that remained.

But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks

And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak.

And when spring arrived

We were taken by surprise when the floes under our feet bled into the sea

And nothing was left for you and me.

We're not the same, dear,

And it seems to me

There's nowhere we can go

With nothing underneath.

And it saddens me to say

But we both know, well, it's true

That the ice was getting thinner

Under me and you.

The ice was getting thinner

Under me and you.
