She fell in love and paid the price.
She was a beautiful raindrop
in a wonderful world;
on a miserably cold day
her frailty came unfurled.

Her heart yearned for an older man,
and now she's not the same.
She was convinced to travel north,
and now he is to blame.

She shunned advice from loving friends,
grew colder each new day.
The raindrop's soul suddenly chilled;
her heart began to stray.

The smooth-talking coot seized her thoughts,
words she wouldn't forsake.
Old Man Winter captured this girl
and left her as a flake.
