The Frozen Man

Текст песни JAMES TAYLOR - The Frozen Man <br/> Last thing I remember is the freezing cold, water reaching up just to swallow me whole.<br />Ice in the rigging and howling wind, shock to my body as we tumbled in, mercy from God.<br />My brothers and the others are lost at sea, I alone am returned to tell thee.<br />Hidden in ice for a century to walk the world again, Lord have mercy on the frozen man.<br /><br />Next words that were spoken to me, nurse asked me what my name might be.<br />She was all in white at the foot of my bed, I said angel of mercy I&#039;m alive or am I dead?<br />( )<br />My name is William James McPhee, I was born in 1843.<br />Raised in Liverpool by the sea but that ain&#039;t who I am, Lord have mercy on the frozen man.<br /><br />It took a lot of money to start my heart, to peg my leg and to buy my eye.<br />The newspapers call me the state of the art, and the children, when they see me, cry.<br />I thought it would be nice just to visit my grave, see what kind of tombstone I might have.<br />I saw my wife and my daughter and it seemed so strange,<br />both of them dead and gone from extreme old age.<br />See here, when I die make sure I&#039;m gone, don&#039;t leave &#039;em nothing to work on.<br />You can raise your arm, you can wiggle your hand, not unlike myself,<br />and you can wave goodbye to the frozen man.<br /><br />I know what it means to freeze to death, to lose a little life with every breath.<br />To say goodbye to life on earth and come around again,<br />Lord have mercy on the frozen man, Lord have mercy on the frozen man.<br />
