Karaoké The Frozen Man James Taylor

Last thing I remember is the freezin' cold

Water reachin' up just to swallow me whole

Ice in the riggin' and howlin' wind

Shock to my body as we tumbled in

Mercy from God

And my brothers and the others are lost at sea

I alone am returned to tell thee

Hidden in ice for a century to walk the world again

Lord have mercy on the frozen man

Next words that were spoken to me

Nurse asked me what my name might be

She was all in white at the foot of my bed

I said Angel of Mercy

I'm alive or am I dead

My name is

William James McPhee

I was born in eighteen forty-three

Raised in Liverpool by the sea

But that ain't who I am

Lord have mercy on the frozen man

It took a lot of money to start my heart

To peg my leg and to buy my eye

The newspapers call me state of the art

And the children when they see me cry

I thought it'd be nice just to visit my grave

See what kind of tombstone

I might have

I saw my wife and my daughter and it seemed so strange

Both of them dead and gone from extreme old age

See here when I die make sure I'm gone

Don't leave them nothin' to work on

You can raise your arm

You can wiggle your hand

Not unlike myself

And you can wave goodbye to the frozen man

I know what it means to freeze to death

To lose a little life with every breath

To say goodbye to life on earth and come around again

Lord have mercy on the frozen man

Lord have mercy on the frozen man
