In this song Tyler uses multiple mental images to compare himself to a situation where you would “shake the frost”. First, he describes a beautiful forrest and compares his love to the way mountains love the “way the morning opens to a soft and bright greeting from the sun”. “The Frost” is imagery...
[Verse 1]
You remind me of a Sunday
Back home in ol' Kentucky
With the church choirs just beltin' to the pines
And I love you like the mountains
Love's the way the mornin' opens
To a soft and bright greetin' from the sun
[Chorus]
So if it'd make you stay
I wouldn't act so angry all the time
I wouldn't keep it all inside
And I'd let you know how much I loved you every day
So darlin' will you stay right here and shake this frost off of my bones
[Verse 2]
Well I used to ride a Mustang
And I'd run that thing on high hopes
'Til they raised the price of dreams so high I couldn't pay
So I let that car just sit there
When I should've took you driving
With the windows down while the music played
[Chorus]
So if it'd make you stay
I wouldn't act so angry all the time
I wouldn't keep it all inside
And I'd let you know how much I loved you every day
So darlin' will you stay right here and shake this frost off of my bones
[Outro]
Darlin' will you stay right here and shake this frost off of my bones
