|
Snow-bound siren in the winter dawn |
|
There's a blizzard blowing in from off the river |
|
It's ten below out on these city streets, |
|
But the feeling in your heart is even colder |
|
The sunrise screeching down the line |
|
And the fog banks running out of time, |
|
But you won't be here when they creep in tomorrow |
|
You're tired of dreaming someone else's dreams |
|
When they really don't include you any longer |
|
Miles from home, you're sliding down with each day |
|
And you need a woman's love to make you stronger |
|
And lately you've been getting doubts |
|
A voice inside keeps calling out |
|
That someone else's dreams don't get you nowhere. |
|
So shut the suitcase, kiss the year goodbye |
|
Don't let nobody stop you at the doorway |
|
And close the shutters on this empty room |
|
Where these crazy dreams come crawling to devour you |
|
And head on out across that line |
|
Where she's been waiting all this time |
|
And tell her that you want her there forever. |
|
It's still two hours till this plane gets down |
|
Can hardly bear to wait another minute |
|
Your sweet loving babe is all that I need |
|
Darling it's been building up inside of me |
|
Tonight we'll go and paint this town |
|
We're gonna drink champagne, till we both fall down |
|
And we'll find some other crazy dream tomorrow. |
