Once I made a man all out of snow
He had the darkest eyes and a button nose
I told him all my sadness and my fear
And he just listened with a snowy ear
But when I came around the next day
My friend had gone and melted all away
I saw his eyes lying on the ground
I made a sound that was something like crying
Oh, one day you will go away from this
Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow, we melt one day
And winters come, and my love, the winters go
And time stacks up in piles like winter snow
And everything you love and hold so dear
Won't really matter when we disappear
Oh, one day you will go away from this
Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow, we melt one day
Oh, one day you will go away from this
Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow, we melt one day
You know, we're men of snow.
