Been waiting heres ince daybreak Like so many daybreaks past Can't stand another cheery morning With the smiles that fade too fast Well sticks and stones may bruise me But breaks and bruises heal If ever was a deadly weapon It's the touch that just don't feel Pool with no water Tears with no salt Love with no passion Friendly to a fault Don't freeze me out here In the land of bone and ice It's just me, you don't have to be So nice Once upon a time There was a girl I knew She had courageousness sewn on her dress Well surprise, that girl was you I know that she's not vanished Or forever lost at sea She's just swallowed up in someone else's Idea of what must be Repeat chorus You say you want a good love And not be someone's slave But don't you know where freedom rings True love has got to be brave Somewhere down the line A train has been derailed They're busy handling round candy hearts Instead of looking for the trail Repeat chorus Don't freeze me out here In the land of bone and ice It's just me, you don't have to be So nice
