I'm just sitting here waiting for the thaw.

I'm sitting here waiting for the river to flow again.

I would just like to sit here again and just watch the river flow.

(Instrumental interlude)

I’m just sitting here waiting for the thaw,

Counting the cracks in the ice as they crawl.

Yeah, I’d just love to watch that river flow,

But here I am, stuck in a frozen show.

I sit here and watch the frozen river and wait for the thaw.

I sit here and wait for the river to flow again.

I would love to sit and just watch the river flow.

(Instrumental interlude)

I’m just sitting here waiting for the thaw,

Counting the cracks in the ice as they crawl.

Yeah, I’d just love to watch that river flow,

But here I am, stuck in a frozen show.

(Instrumental interlude)

Oh, lord, how much longer must I sit and wait?

Will the seasons change, or is it too late?

Will I still make it, will I live to see the day?

I sit here and wait, watching winter’s delay.

The sky’s got that permanent shade of gray,

It’s all a big waiting game, or so they say.

I’d love to sit here with spring on my face,

But I guess I’ll just sit here in frozen embrace.

(Instrumental interlude)

Oh, lord, how much longer do I have to wait?

Will the sun ever come, or is it my fate?

To sit here hoping for some riverside glow,

While icicles grow in the winter’s flow.
