lyrics

Jack Frost and The Winter King were dancing at the break of spring
Crying they’d missed the best of things, that they had only made a start
We all laughed, forgot the cold Aliens amongst an old and tired dream ‘til next winter’s start

I’m trying to reach my friend,
I’m told he’s there at the other end,
A disembodied voice tells me to hold,
Down my head in shame of 16 years of silence,
Will he know my name? Will he care to answer?
Will he treat me just the same?
Ten hours in an aeroplane,
I’m never coming back this way,
I see the sunrise from the air again.
And I have cried this way once awake,
Many times in my sleep she says
She doesn’t understand but still she’s just a call away

Goodbye jack frost you can have your way
Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay
Goodbye jack frost you can have your way
Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay

These eyes have seen it all I know the changes are getting less
Free fall snow fall can’t get it off my chest
I’m flying too high to track me down,
By your grace I’m found, lost above the clouds,
The sunlight pulls me south

Goodbye jack frost you can have your way
Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay
Goodbye jack frost you can have your way
Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay

I can’t believe you carried the flame,
That catch in your voice when you heard my name
Cut me down
I am on my way back home
Back home back home, I am on my way
Goodbye jack frost you can have your way
Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay
Goodbye jack frost you can have your way
Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay
