Ice Caves of My Heart

I pour the brandy over icy rocks in a crystal glass

Light a Cuban cigar and ponder ancient love past

It’s a little lonely here with all my crushed parts

Waiting ever patiently n the ice caves of my heart

　

　

The cigar smoke swirls up to the spinning fan blade paddle

The brandy swirls over the ice cubes that start their rattle

I think of better days when we were never much apart

Not like in these cold and lonely ice caves of my heart

　

　

Do you ever miss my warmth when winter winds chill?

You probably do but would never admit it of free will

I miss your touch, your sweet caress, the loving little parts

Nothing here but the lonely in the ice caves of my heart

　

　

We were never quite right; in the end we never match

No matter how hard I tried, you love I could not catch

But your memory lingers longer, every single little part

On the walls of my mind in the lonely ice caves of my heart

　

I keep looking out and hoping to see your hurried return

Those times we had, those salad days for now which I yearn

But reality tells me to forget it; no plan should I impart

I’m left here permanently in the lonely ice caves of my heart

　

　

For you, I hope for all the best; a love that’s straight ’n true

Sometimes I pray that if you find it that I will find it too

But until that miracle comes and once again I can start

I’ll be waiting her for you in the lonely ice caves of my heart
