When I was younger, a part-time job
worker
Department store centre, I saw a man
enter
He was middle-aged, deep lines on his
face
Tight mouth and eyes glazed
Eyelids
just half-raised

And I looked at him, he
looked at me
He looked so sad, I had to
see
What did he want, what could it be
What
had he been through before me seeing him
In the
store I worked for that year, that year

Ice
skates he asked for, In the middle of summer
He
wanted a good pair, the price he did not care
I
looked for his size, our best pair he
tried
Costom back and sides, excitement in his
eyes

Chorus

I asked are you a pro,
he looked sad and said no
These skates are my
last hope
Without them i cannot
cope

And he said my wife, she drowned this
summer
Behind our house, the river took
her
I cannot swim, I need to find her
I
will wait till it freezes over

And then I
will skate, as far as it takes
I will skate as
far as it takes, to bring her back home
To
bring her back home, to bring her back
home
Back home
