The Cranberries - The Icicle Melts

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

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

How, how could you hurt a child? (how 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

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

There's a place for the baby that died
And there's a 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
