[Verse 1]
I've never been skating on a frozen river
Joni and Jane make it sound so cool
Sometimes I can get so down, it seems
Nothing much is gonna turn me around
They could freeze the brook outside my home
But it's only small, not like the Hudson
Where I'd be clean away, the only one
Down through winter trees on a smooth run

[Chorus]
On a frozen river
On a frozen river
Oh, on a frozen river
I'd be on a frozen river

[Verse 2]
But look at me now, I'm getting to you
And all afternoon, you have been so bright
"No use turning good into bad"
At times like this, you're always right
And the snowdrops are through, I never knew
And my oldest jokes still have you reeling
I'll put the troubles I find to the back of my mind
'Cause my love has the craziest feeling
[Chorus]
Like a frozen river
It's like a frozen river
Oh yeah, frozen river
Oh, like a frozen river

[Bridge]
Half the world will sleep alone tonight (Half the world)
Oh, friends of mine as well
Half the world are on their own tonight (Half the world)
Friends of mine as well, oh

[Verse 3]
Frozen
River
Frozen
River
There's a river below this bright night sky
So full of stars, it's the best for ages
Where I stand in the lane, having shut off the car
Just hearing your wonder

[Chorus]
Like a frozen river
Oh, like a frozen river
Oh, you're like a frozen river (Frozen river)
Like a frozen river
Like a frozen river
Oh, like a frozen river (River)
Like a frozen river
Like a frozen river
