In the winter it was so, so cold

They stayed under water for so,so long
Gm A
They wait for the spring when the ice will thaw
Dm C F
And frozen parts will be filled with song
Gm F A
And the sun filtered down through all them waves

And they said...

Being here is like breathing on the hottest day

Last summer they said it was so, so hot
