The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
i think i'd rather wait for the winter to come
i never make a move when i'm out in the sun
i'll be ready to forgive your foolish mistake
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake
i need a good night of sleeping, i need a little more time
i need to sleep for a few months before i make up my mind
i'll be up early in the morning and wide awake
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake
i saw your face in a dream, i heard your name in a vision
i give myself a season before i make a decision
my knees will be steady and my hands won't shake
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake
there's a lot of things i'm doing i never thought i would do
there's a lot of places in the world that i would never go to without you
right now i need to stay home and i don't need your company
right now i need to alone and i need you to stay away from me
i love the smell of your hair and the blue of your eyes
but you're far too complicated and you tell a lot of lies
i'll see what's right and what's wrong, i'll see what's true and what's fake
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake
and then i'll send out invitations to my family in france
they will come all the way from sweden, they will come all the way from france
my brother will bless the wine and my sister will bake a cake
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake
then when the time is right and when i think i understand
when i forget that you're a runaway, that you've had another man
you'll come to me crawling as fast as a snake
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake
there's a lot of things i'm doing i never thought i would do
there's a lot of places in the world that i would never go to without you
but right now i need to stay home and i don't need your company
right now i need to alone and i need you to stay away from me
(come on brother)
and then in the white of the snow and the quite of nature
i will ask you to stay with me no matter the temperature
i hope you'll say: "yes" and won't try to escape
when the water gets cold and freezes on the lake
