Ice Cream Smile

Stuart Adamson


When it comes down to this
You never seemed so lonely
Just like the one with an ice cream smile
When it comes down to this
You’ve never been the only one
Offering up for your ice cream smile
There’s a reason for the high wind tonight
There’s a reason for the rain
There’s a darkness on the island tonight
Like the darkness in my sins
I sit quiet in the calm before the storm
When it comes down to this
You never seemed so lonely
Just like the one with an ice cream smile
When it comes down to this
You’ve never been the only one
Offering up for your ice cream smile
There’s a high tide on the river tonight
Pure white horses on the sea
There’s a landslide in your garden tonight
Muddy waters over me
I was born into this trouble
I was born into this muddle
Now trouble isn’t trouble
When it doesn’t trouble me
There’s a reason for your silence tonight
There’s a reason for my fear
There’s a reason for the violence tonight
There’s a great decision here
I am waiting in the calm before the storm
When it comes down to this
You never seemed so lonely
Just like the one with an ice cream smile
When it comes down to this
You’ve never been the only one
Offering up for your ice cream smile
