As I wake to the silence of the morning I see the snow that has fallen all around And as I climb up to the hillside I am thinking Of all the good friends and joy that we have found It’s a long way back from Carolina It was a hard road getting to here Now winter’s coming on there’s a feeling getting strong It’s just you that I wanna be near it’s you I wanna be near Now the snow’s fallin’ heavy in the valley We keep the fire in the cabin burning low And the hours slip away playing music It’s just enough to keep from thinking ’bout home It’s a long way back from Carolina It was a hard road getting to here Now winter’s coming on there’s a feeling getting strong It’s just you that I wanna be near it’s you I wanna be near So many places on the way that I’ll remember So many times when we did not feel alone But it’s good to put my arms around you darlin’ it’s only here that I know I’m really home It’s a long way back from Carolina It was a hard road getting to here Now winter’s coming on there’s a feeling getting strong It’s just you that I wanna be near it’s you I wanna be near

The Letter 02:55
Should I write you a letter Would you read it at all Would it help you to stand up or cause you to fall ‘Cause you’re building a fortress And the walls are so high Does a bird in a cage still know how to fly When I write you that letter I would write about love I would try to remind you of what you still have You have beauty and freedom And your eyes how they shine You should take what you want now you’ve still got time Raise your eyes up shake your wings and try You will feel the wind, and fly If you don’t get my letter Maybe it’s better that way We’ll carry our stories til the end of our days ‘Cause I won’t be beside you You have mountains to climb But I’ll see you again if our paths cross in time Raise your eyes up shake those wings and try You will feel the wind, and fly Should I write you a letter Would you read it at all Would it help you to stand up or cause you to fall

In a barroom in Belgium There’s a girl and she’s drinking She’s dancing with no one tonight She’s watching the bar man As he pours her another And the floor sways beneath her in the dim smokey light She says take me away from this heartache The horses are always hungry the work has no end And my lover is leaving It’s a quarter to midnight She’s making a phone call Across the ocean to her family at home Here’s why I’m calling as the tears start falling I can’t take it no more I’m losing this fight Take me away from this heartache The horses are always hungry the work has no end And my lover is leaving He won’t understand Now it’s two in the morning She’s heading on home now She’s cried all the tears she can cry There’s a light in her window She closes the curtain Goodnight my dear Belgium, goodnight Take me away from this heartache The horses are always hungry the work has no end And my lover is leaving He won’t understand
