Once I made a man all out of snow   He had the darkest eyes and a button nose   I told him all my sadness and my fear   And he just listened with a snowy ear      But when I came around the next day   My friend had gone and melted all away   I saw his eyes lying on the ground   And I made a sound that was something like crying      Oh, one day you will go away from this   Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow   We melt one day      Winters come and my love, the winters go   And time stacks up in piles like winter snow   And everything you love and hold so dear   It won't really matter when we disappear      Oh, one day you will go away from this   Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow   We melt one day      Oh, one day you will go away from this   Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow   We melt one day, you know, we're men of snow   We melt one day
