Verse 1:
When I was younger
A part time job worker
Department store center
I saw a man enter
He was middle-aged
Deep lines on his face
Tight mouth and eyes glazed
Eye lids just half razed
Chorus 1: Same chord pattern as verse except for last line
And I looked at him
He looked at me
He looked so sad
I had to see
What did he want
What could it be
What had he been
Through before me
Seeing him in the
Store I worked for that year

Verse 2: same as other verses chord patterns
Ice skates he asked for
In the middle of summer
We wanted a good pair
The price he did not care
I looked for his size
Our best pair he tried
Custom back and size
The sad mount in his eyes
Chorus 2: same as other chorus chord patterns
And I looked and him
He looked at me
He looked so sad
I had to see
What did he want what could it be
What had he been
Through before me seeing
Him in the store
I worked for that year
That year
Verse 3: same as other verses chord patterns
I ask are you a pro
He looked sad and said no
These skates my last hope
Without them I cannot cope
Chorus 3: same as other chorus chords patterns
And he sad my wife
She drowned this summer
Behind our house
The river took her I cannot swim
I need to find her
I will wait till it freezes over
And I will skate as far as it takes
I will skate as far as it takes
To bring her back home
To bring her back home
To bring her back home
Back home
