歌詞

A little bowl of winter

In the middle of July

The sherbet squeaks against the spoon

Pale yellow, cold and bright

It bites me back a tiny bit

That means I did it right

Brain-freeze for a second and a half —

Worth every single bit

Like snow that comes in harvest time

A faithful, cooling thing

One lemon scoop on a warm dark night

Can make a tired girl sing

I chase the melty edges first

The way the experts do

The bowl shines like a little moon

By the time that I am through

The spoon rings on the china rim

A tiny dinner bell

Like snow that comes in harvest time

A faithful, cooling thing

One lemon scoop on a warm dark night

Can make a tired girl sing

The cold climbs slow behind my eyes

I laugh and let it win

Then one more spoonful, slower now

Wiser than I've been

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Like snow that comes in harvest time

A faithful, cooling thing

One lemon scoop on a warm dark night

Can make a tired girl sing

Like snow that comes in harvest time

A faithful, cooling thing

One lemon scoop on a warm dark night

Can make a tired girl sing

A little bowl of winter

And not a spoonful left
