lyrics

It was late one evening, as a cold breeze did blow,
as I stepped out the door, for to wander.
And the snow fell soft, as a voice from behind,
calling me back in time, said "don't go."

But the voice like a sunset, soon faded away,
and now all that remained was direction.
Leading me, from the troubles in mind,
to a new place in time, I did go.

chorus:
So long, wintry winds, you keep blowin' my thoughts far from home,
So long, to the snow on the pines, to the cold winter nights, so long.

As the earth, 'neath each footsep does turn,
bringing warmth to the early morning spring time.
I'll recall a song that the bluebird did sing,
as he longed for the spring to be found.

As I sit beside the fire and my thoughts carry me,
long before I was free from the cold.
Someone told me my son, "don't you ever let go,
draw a line in the snow and start walkin'."
