Lyrics

There’s snow on the mountain
The wind keeps on howling
A strange winter song
Passers-by meet
In the bar across the street
To wait out the storm
Some drink for fun,
Others to numb
The frays of their soul
A seat by the fire
Makes the world brighter
As you shut out the cold

Let’s all go out on the town
While the night’s young
You can get wasted
We’ll dance to the band at the bar
Trouble will find me
If I spend tonight on my own
I’m just shy of lonesome
So pick up the phone

Solitary moon
A room with a view
And space to spread out
Living the dream
Or so it seems
Clouded with doubt
Are you still awake
‘Cause I just can’t shake
This lingering dread
Anxious and weary
Come and be near me
Bring me out of my head

Let’s all go out on the town
While the night’s young
You can get wasted
We’ll dance to the band at the bar
Trouble will find me
If I spend tonight on my own
I’m just shy of lonesome
So pick up the phone

I’m just shy of lonesome
So pick up the phone
