Alice

(Verse)
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)
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
