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
