Marble Slab

Colder than a marble slab
Nantucket sound, the howling wind
Walls of ice, they block my path
Michael, will you let me in?
The fire's burning bright in there
I see it through the window pane
My breath is frozen in the air
While yours is dancing in the flame

I only came because you called
I brought the things you asked me for
If that's you walking down the hall
Why won't you open your front door?

Here comes another tidal wave
Buried under ice and snow
If not for you I won't be saved
Michael, where am I to go?

Colder than a marble slab
Why would you turn away from me?
Don't you remember who I am?
Tell me dear, how can it be?
