Lyrics
I can hear the wheels of the automobiles
So far away, just moving along through the drifting snow
It's times like these when the temperatures freeze
I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window
Down on the beach the sandman sleeps
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps
And a country band that plays for keeps
They play it so slow
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
The spirits were high 'til the well went dry
For so long the raven at my window was only a crow
I bought the rights to the inside fights
Watched a man just beating his hand against a storm window
While miles away over hills and streams
A candle burns, a witch's dreams
Silence is golden 'til it screams
Right through your bones
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Storm windows, Gee, I'm gettin' old
Storm windows, keep away the cold
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
I can hear the wheels of the automobiles
So far away, just moving along through the drifting snow
It's times like these when the temperatures freeze
I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window
Down on the beach the sandman sleeps
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps
And a country band that plays for keeps
They play it so slow
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Don't let your baby down
Oh, no
Thank you
