Easy on the Ice

An old played out tune

kept a whisper in her ear

Like a lonely sound

of winter wind a blowing

With the remnants of her wardrobe

when she was dancing queen

She hitched a ride

to wherever she was going

The travelling was easy

and the leaving left behind

A trace of laughter when 

she kept her tears from showing

Many days just passing time

hoping everything would change

But it never did 

and she had no way of knowing

So pour me a happy tune go easy on the ice

A song to let my thoughts just drift away

Let the beat of the drum send ripples down my spine

As I glide on a golden dream where tears just drift away

A railroad bell was ringing

as though a life ahead was waiting

The sunlight sent 

a message to her eyes

The call of fresh brewed coffee 

put speed back in her stride

Like when living was a fairground ride 

and everyday a prize

The diner door slid easy

with no resistance to her need

the sound of morning music

offered time

The waitress gave a knowing glance

and placed an empty cup

then filled it with the taste of hope 

and sentimental rhyme

So pour me a happy tune go easy on the ice

A song to let my thoughts just drift away
Let the beat of the drum send ripples down my spine
as I glide on a golden dream where tears just drift away
