Northwinds

Oh there's a cowboy sitting there on the pedal steel,

He's a star in this town with an even keel

And wore a cigarette on his lip,

And a pistol down his hip

As I sat there with my old six string,

In a bar in Boston without a drink

People traveling by,

Empty tables and dark street lights

But as the time stands still,

And don't you blame it on the sleeping pills

And well I saw you in a corner that night,

Shedding tears after light

Like rainfall falls from the sky

So let go,

Of what you know

When the Northwinds blow

As you were rested on a railing cold,

Looking down upon the town below

People traveling by,

Rushing traffic city life

As you got home and walked through your door,

And kicked your boots off on the hardwood floor

And you sat up in your bed,

And went through everything in your head

But as the time stands still,

And don't you blame it on the sleeping pills

And well I saw you in a corner that night,

And your eyes haven't been dry

Since the bars closing time

So let go,

Of what you know

When the Northwinds blow

So let go,

Of what you know

When the Northwinds blow

So let go,

Of what you know

When the Northwinds blow
