lyrics

Best be stayin’ close to home this evening
It’s blowing from the north and it’s freezing cold
Snow is falling all around
The darkened prairie skies
The only sound is winter blowing down the road

They say the highway’s closed on down from Cheyanne
Stranded folks’ve got nowhere to go
Like a sparrow in a storm who has surely lost his way
Far from home and much alone
He knows he’s fallen prey to the

Storm bound, whistling sound
That’s blowing all around him
Hawk-like shrill of the winter kills
His chances, as the wind, she dances over him

Solo

Drifts deep on snowy peaks
And the frozen plains below
Wind howls and the ground it creaks
And it really stopped the show
All I know is it’s twenty below
So damn cold that my car won’t go
‘n there’s that winter blowin’ down the road

My heart goes to the wandering soul
Who’s out there in the cold
To stranded folks who got nowhere to go

(Sparrows in the storm
They have lost their way
Far from home and much alone)

In the storm bound, whistling sound
That’s blowing all around them
Hawk-like shrill of the winter kills
the chances, as the wind, she dances over them

So it goes….
