Lyrics for The Frozen Man by James Taylor:
| | | Artist: | James Taylor |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Frozen Man | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 63 | | | | Lyrics: | Last thing I remember is the freezing cold
Water reaching up just to swallow me whole
Ice
in the rigging and howling wind
Shock to my body as we tumbled in
Then my brothers and the
others are lost at sea
I alone am returned to tell thee
Hidden in ice for a
century
To walk the world again
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
Next words
that were spoken to me
Nurse asked me what my name might be
She was all in white at the
foot of my bed
I said angel of mercy I'm alive or am I dead
My name is William James
McPhee
I was born in 1843
Raised in Liverpool by the sea
But that ain't who I
am
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
It took a lot of money to start my
heart
To peg my leg and to buy my eye
The newspapers call me the state of the art
And
the children, when they see me, cry
I thought it would be nice just to visit my grave
See
what kind of tombstone I might have
I saw my wife and my daughter and it seemed so
strange
Both of them dead and gone from extreme old age
See here, when I die make sure I'm
gone
Don't leave 'em nothing to work on
You can raise your arm, you can wiggle your
hand
And you can wave goodbye to the frozen man
I know what it means to freeze to
death
To lose a little life with every breath
To say goodbye to life on earth
To come
around again
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
Lord have mercy on the frozen man | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
