Day One Hundred & Sixty Eight - Winter On The Way

Talk to my Mother this evening reminded me of this song.

Thank you Del Barber for bringing joy into the world with your incredible talent.

WINTER ON THE WAY

I missed the first snowfall in Winnipeg
It followed me to old Chicago town
Like an old friend that goes the extra mile
Reminds me that I should head on home

Wish I was listening to the evening radio shows
Broadcast from coast to coast to coast
The yellow glow that leaks out of my house
Into cold nights from those double panes
Bringing word that winter is on the way

Forget about all the work left to do in the yard
Put on a big ol' pot of coffee
And give the winter a nice place to dream

Oh I know, it's a long way home
I'll be back there soon
And I'll hold onto my best thought of you
Oh bright, eyes winter on the way

And I will see how much warmth can be shared
Two lovers use soft words infront of fire
Weather man is predicting a foot or more
There's no other better place to be

Oh I know, it's a long way home
I'll be back there soon
And I'll hold onto my best thought of you
Oh bright, eyes winter on the way

When we wake up tomorrow morning
Throw on one more layer of wool
Shovel the walk for the newspaper girl
And we'll wonder why anyone would complain
When they hear that winter's on the way
