On Thick Ice
Give to me the life I love
Let the lave go by me
Give the jolly heaven above
There's the life for a man like me
There's the life forever
Forever
Let the blow fall soon or late
Let what will be o'er me
Give the face of earth around
All I seek, the heaven above
And the road below me
Below me
Or let the autumn fall on me
Where afield I linger
Silencing the bird on the tree
Biting the blue finger
Ah
White as meal the frosty field
Warm the fireside haven
Not to autumn will I yield
Not to winter even
Let the blow fall soon or late
Let what will be o'er me
Give the face of earth around
And the road before me
Wealth I ask not, hope nor love
Nor a friend to know me
And all I ask, the heaven above
And the road below me
(Hoofbeats)
Give to me the life I love
Let the lave go by me
Give the jolly heaven above
And the byway nigh me
Let the blow fall soon or late
Let what will be o'er me
Give the face of earth around
And the road before me...
Ah...
On...
On thick ice, I stand
(Hoofbeats)
White as meal the frosty field
Warm the fireside haven
Not to autumn will I yield
Not to winter even
Bed in the bush with stars to see
Bread I dip in the river
There is the life for a man like me
There is the life forever
On...
On thick ice
