  • It's always cold inside the icehouse
    Though the rivers never freeze
    There's a girl outside the icehouse
    I can see her clearly though the trees
    And now she's dreaming of a new love
    And she hopes he'll be there soon
    But she's got so long to wait for him
    Because he needs another year to get there
    There's no love inside the icehouse

    The devil lives inside the icehouse
    At least that's what the old ones say
    He came along time ago
    He came here in the winter snow
    Now it's colder every day
    But she's still dreaming through the summer
    And she's hoping through the spring
    She says she's got no time for winter nights
    She doesn't notice as the days grow colder
    She can't remember getting any older
    There's no love inside the icehouse

    And now she's dreaming of a new love
    And she hopes he'll be there soon
    She says she's got no time for winter nights
    She doesn't notice as the days grow colder
    She can't remember getting any older
    There's no love inside the icehouse
    There's no love inside the icehouse

  • Elisa from Chatham New YorkThanks Songfacts for a bit of the origin of one of my fav bands of the Eighties. Listening to Sidewalk now! I hope to see them as I never have. Timeless music! I hope there’s no more depression in this band. I know how it can be. ‼️
