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 tomorr
