[00:00.62]You came to me this morning and you handled me like meat
[00:04.62]
[00:06.79]You'd have to be a man to know how good that feels
[00:09.66]How sweet
[00:10.53]
[00:12.36]My mirrored twin
[00:14.43]My next of kin
[00:15.73]
[00:16.64]I'd know you in my sleep and who but you would take me in
[00:22.81]A thousand kisses deep
[00:24.85]
[00:26.12]I loved you when you opened like a lily to the heat
[00:29.76]
[00:30.97]See I'm just another snowman standing in the rain and sleet
[00:35.93]
[00:37.03]Who loved you with his frozen love and his second hand physique
[00:43.55]With he is and all he was
[00:46.27]A thousand kisses deep
[00:48.37]
[00:49.43]I know you had to lie to me
[00:51.66]
[00:52.33]I know you had to cheat
[00:54.04]To pose all hot and high behind the veils of shear deceit
[01:00.92]
[01:01.87]A perfect born aristocrat so elegant and cheap
[01:07.65]
[01:08.59]I'm old but I'm still into that
[01:11.71]A thousand kisses deep
[01:13.88]
[01:16.19]I'm good at love
[01:17.87]I'm good at hate
[01:19.07]
[01:20.08]It's in between I freeze
[01:21.89]
[01:22.99]Been working out
[01:24.15]But it's too late
[01:26.38]
[01:27.24]It's been to late for years
[01:29.21]
[01:30.80]But you look good
[01:32.40]You really do
[01:33.48]
[01:34.29]They love you on the street
[01:36.43]
[01:37.21]If I could move I'd kneel for you
[01:39.69]A thousand kisses deep
[01:41.67]
[01:43.12]I'm still working with the wine
[01:45.46]Still dancing cheek to cheek
[01:48.16]
[01:49.66]The band is playing auld laing sine
[01:52.38]But the heart will not retreat
[01:54.45]
[01:55.76]I ran with dez and I sang with ray
[01:59.22]
[02:00.22]I never had their sweep
[02:01.91]
[02:02.88]But once or twice they let me play
[02:05.71]
[02:06.30]A thousand kisses deep
[02:08.10]
[02:09.60]The autumn moved across your skin
[02:12.34]
[02:13.36]Got something in my eye
[02:15.11]
[02:16.07]A light that doesn't need to live
[02:18.80]And doesn't need to die
[02:20.77]
[02:21.57]A riddle in the book of love
[02:23.86]Obscure and obsolete
[02:26.64]
[02:27.54]To witness tear and time and blood
[02:31.06]
[02:31.61]A thousand kisses deep
[02:33.35]
[02:34.58]I loved you when you opened like a lily to the heat
[02:38.82]
[02:39.55]Just the angel another snowman standing in the raining sleet
[02:45.11]
[02:45.69]Who loved you with his frozen love
[02:48.27]
[02:48.88]His second hand physique with all he is
[02:52.98]And all he was
[02:54.81]A thousand kisses deep
[02:56.78]
[02:57.94]Well that's my story I meet it's broken and it's bleek
[03:03.85]
[03:05.15]But all the twinsty pecies is fact
[03:07.84]
[03:08.71]A thousand kisses deep
