Shawn Colvin Heart On Ice written by Judith Zweiman
Lucy Kaplanski
As I sit in the all night diner
You return to your easy chair
You awake to your work and your woman
Bm A Gmaj 7
And I'll dream that it's me lying there
You can look in my eyes but you'll never know
There's an ache inside that I never show
Gmaj 7
A defensive device
Meant to keep my heart on ice   
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul
I shield my fragile eggshell love
Gmaj 7 A
>From attack during the groundswell
I'll act the part so well I'll play my finest role 
But the furies take their toll and their price
Gmaj 7 Bm A Bm A
Is to keep my heart on ice
As I sit in the all night diner
You leaned back in your nightclub seat
I went out with two friends and a stranger
Bm A Gmaj 7
With a laugh and a pang of defeat
But I looked in your eyes as I turned to go 
Was there something there that you couldn't show
Gmaj 7
A defensive device
Meant to keep your heart of ice
You keep your heart on ice you chill your holy soul
You shield your fragile eggshell love
Gmaj 7 A
>From attack during the groundswell
You act the part so well you'll play your finest role 
But the furies take their toll and their price
Gmaj 7 Bm A Bm A
Is to keep my heart on ice
As I sit in the all night diner
I was thinking of you at the bar 
And the smiles and the jests and the whispers
Bm Gmaj 7
As I watched once again from afar
But I looked in your eyes and I never knew
Did I read you wrong did I misconstrue
Gmaj 7 Bm
The defensive device I will keep my heart on ice
I keep my heart on ice I chill my holy soul
I shield my fragile eggshell love
Gmaj 7 A
>From attack during the groundswell
I'll act the part so well I'll play my finest role 
But the furies take their toll and their price
Gmaj 7 Bm A Bm A
Is to keep my heart on ice
