Surprise Ice Lyrics - Riot On An Empty Street - Kings Of Convenience

When past sometimes takes you with soft hands 

Forcelessly pulls you to your chair 

Hides you away from these half days 

Sunless at the end of the year 

The air is like a knife cutting through you 

A room in the house is always warm 

Stretched out on the bathroom floor thinking 

Of fair days your future may hold 

Love comes like surprise ice on the water 

Love comes like surprise ice at dawn 

Love comes like surprise ice on the water 

Love comes at dawn 

Deprived of the light and of colors 

The world ends at your window tree 

Darkness creates these illusions 

But pale days can teach you to see 

Rain falls but no life is given 

Weeks pass, no progress is made 

Past sometimes takes you with soft hands 

And all that surrounds you will fade 

Love comes like surprise ice on the water 

Love comes like surprise ice at dawn 

Love comes like surprise ice on the water 

Love comes at dawn
