Since I need a URL for a song project and don’t store my lyrics online, you’ll get two songs of mine today.

Song No 1: Snowqueen – an rather metaphorical song about an old fairy tale, or about a difficult relationship

1)

Asus4                                                   Dsus4

Have you heard about the boy who followed the Snowqueen

Asus4                                                C9        Cmaj7

to her palace of glittering ice, far away on the North pole

Esus4                                                                   Cmaj7

where the walls are so high and so cold and so hard

Esus4                                                    Cmaj 7

that your soul would freeze over and crack,

Asus4

have you heard about the boy?

Dsus4

Have you heard about the boy?

 

2)

Have you heard about the love that combined two children forever,

from the time of their innocent youth, from the time and place where they met?

 

They held hands ‘cross the gap ‘tween their windows

to reach out and feel each other’s warmth.

Have you heard about that love?

have you heard about that love?

 

3)

Have you heard about the Queen? Her name is “False Pride” and her touch

will freeze his heart over and glaze it with layers of diamond ice;

 

it gets slippery and hard, you can’t touch it with love,

so remote that the North Pole seems closer by far,

and the Snowqueen will laugh,

and the Snowqueen will laugh.

 

 

4)

Have you heard about the quest to the diamond castle up north

where Aurora riding the sky is the Snowqueen’s frozen smile.

 

And a million cold needles will splinter your heart

and will cut up your feelings in shreds,

but the Snowqueen must lose,

oh, the Snowqueen must lose.

 

5)

Have you heard about the girl that crossed the glittering snow

to bring warmth to her lover whose heart froze to ice;

 

and she found him in bluish green glittering hold

with an icicle smile and a touch that was cold

and the Snowqueen sings out

while they walk to the South,

 

and the Snowqueen’s song ever will follow them here

and creep up through the wind and will fill her with fear.

For the Snowqueen might win,

one day she might win.
