She came on to him like a slow movin' cold front
His beer was warmer than the look in her eyes
She sat on a stool, he said, "What do you want?"
She said, "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside."
He said, "I have melted some hearts in my time dear
But to sit next to you, Lord, I shiver and shake
And if I knew love, well, I don't think I'd be here
Askin' myself if I've got what it takes."
CHORUS:
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start?
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears
"These days we all play cool, calm and collected
Why, our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze"
But under the frost, well, he thought he detected
A warm blush of red and a touch of her knee
He said, "Girl, you're a beauty like I've never witnessed
And I've seen the Northern Lights dance on the air
But I've felt the cold that can follow the first kiss
And there's not enough heat in the fires burning there."

Thanks to ridinrules for submitting the lyrics.
Perfectly complemented by the sparse, moving accompaniment, how wonderfully succinct this song is. You get just enough detail to totally "get" what the protagonist is feeling, without having to know all of the sordid histories involved. Yet you want to know. And you can picture anything you want happening at the end ... sadness, acceptance, redemption ... this song works for so many moods you may be in when you're listening.
