Linda Ronstadt – Icy Blue Heart lyrics
Written by John Hiatt
© Careers-BMG Music Publishing Inc (BMI)

She came on to him like a slow moving cold front
His beer was warmer than the look in her eye
She sat on a stool he said "what do you want"
She said "give me a love that don't freeze up inside"

He said I have melted some hearts in my time dear
But to sit next to you, lord I shiver and shake
And if I knew love, don't think I'd be here
Asking myself if I have what it takes

To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears

These days we all play cool calm and collected
Why, our lips could turn blue shootin' the breeze
But under the frost thought he detected
A warm blush of red and a touch of her knees

He said girl you've a beauty like I've never witnessed
And I've seen the northern lights dance in the air
But I've felt the cold follow the first kiss
And there's not enough heat in the fire burning there

To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears

To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears

    Believe it or not, the lyrics and the idea of this song described as being the obvious as a "pick up" song is precisely what Hiatt, (I feel) intended. There are subtle clues that I have questioned where intentionally hides eloquently but strongly contradict this superficial notion. For instance, who would say to a complete stranger, "What do you want?" To name but a few. Just one of many contradictions he manipulates. It would seem "odd" to open a conversation that way, unless this was in fact, someone he knows. Perhaps the biggest clue, another double meaning states, I've seen the Northern Lights... I felt the cold and followed a first kiss... there's just not enough heat, (meaning another woman) in the fires' burning i(up) there. To melt your icy blue heart." is an apology, an attempt to say, I messed up, but what will change your mind.. He surely knows this woman well, very well. She's pissed even before she sits down. Listen with an open mind as if the man not only knows her, maybe even be his wife. They have a history. Right or wrong, no matter the case, its a beautiful song, John, you are a master at your craft, hands-down, the best. MJ
