[Verse 1]
A river, a mountain to be crossed
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
Around the south side
So cold that we cried
[Chorus 1]
Were we ever colder on that day, a million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
[Verse 2]
Move forward was my friend's only cry
In deeper to somewhere we could lie
And rest for the day
With cold in the way
[Chorus 1]
Were we ever colder on that day, a million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
[Verse 3]
The moments seemed lost in all the noise
A snow storm, the stimulating voice
Of warmth of the sky
Of warmth when you die
[Chorus 2]
Were we ever warmer on that day, a million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
The moments seemed lost in all the noise
A snow storm, the stimulating voice
Of warmth of the sky
Of warmth when you die
[Chorus 2]
Were we ever warmer on that day, a million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
[Verse 4]
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
The river can disregard the cost
And melt in the sky
The warmth when you die
[Chorus 2]
Were we ever warmer on that day, a million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
A river, a mountain to be crossed
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
Around the south side
So cold that we cried
[Chorus 1]
Were we ever colder on that day, a million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
[Verse 2]
Move forward was my friend's only cry
In deeper to somewhere we could lie
And rest for the day
With cold in the way
[Chorus 1]
Were we ever colder on that day, a million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
[Verse 3]
The moments seemed lost in all the noise
A snow storm, the stimulating voice
Of warmth of the sky
Of warmth when you die
[Chorus 2]
Were we ever warmer on that day, a million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
The moments seemed lost in all the noise

Of warmth of the sky
Of warmth when you die

[Verse 4]
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
The river can disregard the cost
And melt in the sky
The warmth when you die
[Chorus 2]
Were we ever warmer on that day, a million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
