Cranberries - The Icicle Melts

When
when will the icicle melt,
the icicle, icicle
And when
when will the picture show end
the picture show, the picture show
I should not have read the paper today
'Cause a child, child, child, child
he was taken away
taken away

There's a place for the baby that died
And there's time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arm sometime
'Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long How
how could you hurt a child,
could you hurt a child
Now
does this make you satisfied
satisfied, satisfied
I don't know what's happening to people today
When a child, child, child, child
he was taken away
taken away

There's a place for the baby that died
And there's time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arm sometime
'Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long

There's a place for the baby that died
And there's time for the mother who cried
And you will hold him in your arms sometime
'Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long
