The Frozen Man

The Frozen Man - James Taylor (詹姆斯·泰勒)

Written by：J. Taylor

Last thing I remember is the freezing cold

Water reaching up just to swallow me whole

Ice in the rigging and howling wind

Shock to my body as we tumbled in mercy from god

My brothers and the others are lost at sea

I alone am returned to tell thee

Hidden in ice for a century talk walk for world again

Lord have mercy on frozen man

Next words that spoken to me

Nurse asked me what my name might be

She was all in white at 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 1843

Raised in Liverpool by the sea but that ain't who I am

Lord have mercy on the frozen man

Took a lot of money to start my heart

Just to peg my leg and buy my eye

The newspapers call me state of the art

And the children when they see me cry

I thought it would be nice just to visit my grave

See what kind of tombstone I might have

I saw the wife my daughter seemed so strange so strangers

Both of them dead and gone from extreme old age

I see when I die make sure I'm gone

Don't leave 'em nothing to work on

You can raise your arm you can wiggle your hand

Not unlike myself

So you can wave goodbye to the frozen man goodbye

I know it means to freeze to death

Lose a little life with every breath

To say goodbye life on earth come around again

Lord have mercy on the frozen man

Lord have mercy on the frozen man

Lord have mercy on the frozen man
