MOONLIGHT AND WHITE

MOONLIGHT AND WHITE

MOONLIGHT AND WHITE

FAR AND WIDE

ITS FREEZING OUTSIDE

STOKE THE FIRE, HUNKER DOWN

DARK EYES DREAM

OF SWEETEST SUN FARAWAY

SAND INSTEAD OF SNOW 

WHERE WARM BREEZES BLOW

I COULD SOON FORGET

THESE DARK

NORTHERN DAYS AND NIGHTS

 THAT LEAVE ME COLD

 

I'M JUST HERE

AGAINST MY OWN ADVICE

I SHOULD OF HEADED SOUTH

INSTEAD OF BEING

STUCK HERE

IN THIS SNOW AND ICE

 

DOWN IN THAT SOUTHERN SUN

HOW COULD A HEART

NOT BE LIGHT

INSTEAD OF A STRUGGLE

JUST TO KEEP UPRIGHT

MAYBE I COULD SLOW DOWN

TAKE MY TIME

TRADE MY SNOW SHOVEL

FOR A FISHING LINE

 

NO ANOTHER STORM WILL DROP

ADD A FEW MORE FEET

TO THE TOP

SOMETIMES ITS JUST

TOO MUCH CHEER

FROZEN FEET AND

 FROZEN BEER

 

I LOOKED UP TO

THE MOUNTAINS

YOU KNOW 

I WATCHED THEM SLIDE 

CLEARED A PATH

A HALF A MILE WIDE

THIS ICE AND SNOW

I DON'T KNOW

IT BRINGS ME DOWN

 

MAYBE I WOULDN'T

CARE SO MUCH

MAYBE I WOULDN'T MIND

IF I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE

I WAS GOING SNOW BLIND

MOONLIGHT AND WHITE

BLUE TO BLACK

ITS A LONG WAY BACK
