when you were a bird i built a nest of straw for you
listened to you sing in the morning dawn
you would fly to spain just to see the countryside
used to run below just to watch you fly

icy hands will never melt away
i keep knock-knockin' on your door
(knock knock knock)
you were always changing your shape
now you're not a bird anymore

when you were a frog i built a special pond for you
listened to you croakin' on the summer nights
you would swim around and rest in the tall grass
used to look for you but you would always hide

icy hands will never melt away
i keep knock-knockin' on your door
(knock knock knock)
you were always changing your shape
now you're not a frog anymore

when you were an eel we would swim around a lot
splish and splash about with the changing tides
you would light the way when it got too dark at night
used to get shocked but i didn't mind

icy hands will never melt away
i keep knock-knockin' on your door
(knock knock knock)
you were always changing your shape
now you're not an eel anymore
