Alice

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When Alice came to the house in the country With the pain of love She would live her way She made her home in a gold shadowed valley But her emptiness Turned the gold to gray She would stay there Everyday there She would be She'd had a love long ago in the city But the bird had flown In an ice blue sky Then all the world crashed in pieces around her And she left with a lark On a trip to die There was she there All alone there Alice cried [Pre-Chorus] And then down through the valley came The autumn wind And endless snow And all around the hills were shadowed black And Alice walked along without her shoes or coat or scarf upon Her heart was cold The warmth never came back Oh and so [Chorus] With head as heavy as a millstone And her eyes a raging glacier She went out to find her love but all in vain And so With head as heavy as a millstone And her eyes a raging glacier She went out to find her love but all in vain [Verse 2] When once again summer came with a glimmer Hand in hand with her soul Alice walked the lane She stumbled over a fence in a meadow She went down to the earth And her soul just walked away There was she there Lying up there Passed away [Pre-Chorus] And then down through the valley came The autumn wind and then the snow And all around the hills were shadowed black And Alice walked along without her shoes or coat or scarf upon Her heart was cold The warmth never came back Oh and so [Chorus] With head as heavy as a millstone And her eyes a raging glacier She went out to find her love but all in vain And so With head as heavy as a millstone Her eyes a raging glacier She went out to find her love but all in vain And so With head as heavy as a millstone And her eyes a raging glacier She went out to find her love but all in vain
