Sarah McLachlan- Ice (Freedom Sessions)

This version of Ice is from Freedom Sessions. Sarah played this song with her amp turned up to 10 and with harsher bass sounds to put more tension into this tragic song. Sarah got the idea for this song while she was in South Eastern Asia for World Vision and saw with horror the child protitution business that goes on there.

Lyrics-
The ice is thin come on dive in
underneath my lucid skin.
The cold is lost, forgotten.

Hours pass days pass time stands still
light gets dark and darkness fills
my secret heart forbidden

I think you worried for me then
the subtler ways that Id give in
but I know you liked the show.

Tied down to this bed of shame
you tried to move around the pain
but oh your soul is anchored.

The only comfort is
the moving of the river.
You enter into me
a lie upon your lips.
Offer what you can
Ill take all that I can get
only a fools here

I dont like your tragic sighs
as if your god has passed you by
well hey fool thats your deception.

Your angels speak with jilted tongue
the serpents tale has come undone
you have no strength to squander.

The only comfort is
the moving of the river.
You enter into me
a lie upon your lips.
Offer what you can
Ill take all that I can get
only a fools here to stay.

Only a fools here to stay.

Only a fools here
