I want to melt away Like an ice block in your palm To trickle between your fingers Leaving a chilly snail trail on your wrist You'll blot me with a cloth And wring me into the damp sink To splash against the tears Of the leaky cold tap But what use are tears When you're dripping down the drain? They're only salt water And I'm already headed for the sea Not even the vast ocean Knows the joys of being free

Trickle
I want to melt away Like an ice block in your palm To trickle between your fingers Leaving a chilly snail trail on your wrist You'll blot me with a cloth And wring me into the damp sink To splash against the tears Of the leaky cold tap But what use are tears When you're dripping down the drain? They're only salt water And I'm already headed for the sea Not even the vast ocean Knows the joys of being free
