verse 1ECGA
When I was younger
ECGA
A part-time job worker
ECGA
Department store centre
ECGA
I saw a man enter
ECGA
He was middle-aged
ECGA
Deep lines on his face
ECGA
Tight mouth and eyes glazed
ECGA
Eyelids just half-raised
EGA
And I looked at him, he looked at me
EGA
He looked so sad, I had to see
EGA
What did he want, what could it be
EGA
What had he been through before me
DC
Seeing him in the store, I worked for
ECGA
That year
ECGA
That year
verse 2ECGA
Ice skates he asked for
ECGA
In the middle of summer
ECGA
He wanted a good pair
ECGA
The price he did not care
ECGA
I looked for his size
ECGA
Our best pair he tried
ECGA
Custom back and sides
ECGA
Excitement in his eyes
EGA
And I looked at him, he looked at me
EGA
He looked so sad, I had to see
EGA
What did he want, what could it be
EGA
What had he been through before me
DC
Seeing him in the store, I worked for
ECGA
That year
ECGA
That year

I asked are you a pro
ECGA
He looked sad and said no
ECGA
These skates are my last hope
ECGA
Without them I cannot cope
EGA
And he said my wife, she drowned this summer
EGA
Behind our house, the river took her
EGA
I cannot swim, I need to find her
EGA
I will wait, till it freezes over
DC
And then I will skate, as far as it takes
DC
I will skate, as far as it takes
ECGA
To bring her back home
ECGA
To bring her back home
ECGA
To bring her back home
E
Back home
