Verse 1]
Cold came early this year
Snow on the TV glow
Her boots in the hallway
Gone by the morning, though Ash in the coffee cup
Two plates that never got used I talk to the empty chair Like it might answer you [Chorus]
Winter broke my heart in two she’s a mother a lover Took my lover, took my truth
Left me here with these ghosts and this view
I keep calling your name
Through this hollow little room
But it echoes back like
Black ice in June
[Verse 2]
Mama said, "son, stand tall Storms don't last that long" Wrapped me in her Sunday coat Said, "boy, you're built for strong" Now her voice is a crackling line From a thousand miles away
I guard this tiny flame
While the world turns gray
[Chorus]
Winter broke my heart in two
Took my lover, took my truth
Left me here with these ghosts and
this view
I keep calling your name
Through this hollow little room
But it echoes back like
Black ice in June
[Bridge]
I roll one more slow regret (yeah)
Let it burn down to my hand
Stone in my chest, stone in my head
Trying to feel anything I can
[Chorus]
Winter broke my heart in two
Took my lover, took my truth
Left me here with these ghosts and
this view
I keep calling your name
Through this hollow little room
But it echoes back like[Chorus]
Winter broke my heart in two
Took my lover, took my truth
Left me here with these ghosts and
this view
I keep calling your name
Through this hollow little room
But it echoes back like
Black ice in June
[Bridge]
I roll one more slow regret (yeah)
Let it burn down to my hand
Stone in my chest, stone in my head
Trying to feel anything I can
[Chorus]
Winter broke my heart in two
Took my lover, took my truth
Left me here with these ghosts and
this view
I keep calling your name
Through this hollow little room
But it echoes back like
Black ice in June
Just black ice in June winter is a mother a lover she’s black Ice in June
