Jayber Crow - Freeze and Thaw lyrics

Burn, O burn, sun bright and low. Melt, O melt, the ice and snow. Drip, O drip, let water flow. Seep, O seep, into the stone. Fall, O fall, night cold and black The crystals of the ice intact. Grow, they grow, to ruin and wrack. Split, O split, the sidewalk cracks. Crumble, crumble, the city humbled and falling to its knees How will it go? It will be slow and carried off piece by piece By all those summers and all those winters and all that freeze and thaw All those buildings springing up where in turn they shall fall We all will fall We all will fall We all will fall
