The Blizzard Of '89

We welcome winter's wind
The colors of our bones
will you collect me and compound?
And clear your mind before the ground gets cold.
Embers in air, the wind in your hair
If you were a snowflake
Impossibly I'd be the same shape as you.

Spilled coffee in the mornings
You still adore me, and thats what I love about the cold nights
Cause your jacket fit is just my size.

Oh oh oh oh
Baby, your love is like the holidays
Cause everyones here and this is sincere
Check that list you made for Christmas Day
Cause I'll on the rooftop all night giving out
Gifts to the world so every boy and girl
Can feel the way that I do, everytime I see you.

And it's these subtle things that make our spirits warm
And it's the comfort of carols sung
And ribbons hung
And Christmas lights on distant back road drives.
Embers in air.
You know it's hard being so far, and so far
It's a test of strength, but all it takes is the moments by your side.

Come morning when I wake up,
You fix your make up.
Lighting the fire up all night.
We'll drink hot chocolate and sing and sigh.

Baby, your love is like the holidays
Cause everyones here and this is sincere
Check that list you made for Christmas Day
Cause I'll on the rooftop all night giving out
Gifts to the world so every boy and girl can
Feel the way that I do, everytime I see you.

I'm coming home to the Midwest
Chasing down winter wonderland
You take your Pointsetta,
You tell me why it's better
Being home right by your side

I'm driving home, but the ice storm is making this
a test of strength, a test!
Miracles real tonight
The feelings right
The decorations falling in place.

Oh love is like the holidays
Cause everyones here
And this is sincere
Check that list you made for Christmas Day
Cause I'll on the rooftop all night giving out
Gifts to the world so every boy and girl can
Feel the way that I do everytime I see you.
