joseph huber - a northwood waltz lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the clouds filled the sky and the snow tumbled down
from rhinelander down over old t-tletown
and the fields and the rivers once golden and brown
long hide ‘neath the cold white and blue
there’s a voice on the phone said, “i know that you’re gone
i’ve lost you, and all that we knew”
i don’t know just where i’m a-goin’
but i’ll be going soon

[verse 2]
still the christmas lights hang at the center of town
near malarkey’s from jefferson to washington
i thank the good lord they ain’t taken down
as i cling to the years that are through
but the cold, drunken crowd is getting warmer and louder
i know that it’s time for a tune
i don’t know just where i’m a-goin’
but i’ll be going soon

[chorus 1]
somewhere far away, she’s crying my name
in the drum of my ear there’s a-ringing
but the fiddle plays on and the crowd sings along
though they know not the words to be singing, just…

“lie-lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie”

[verse 3]
it’s fifteen-below as the plows clear the road
but what way could be cleared back to you that i know?
for the engine won’t turn and your heart’s letting go
of a fool who’s torn into two
so, as snowflakes dance down their currents of chance
will love chance again upon me and you?
i don’t know just where i’m a-goin’
but i’ll be going soon

[chorus 2]
well, i’ve failed, but i’ve tried
h-ll, before they died
even angels and saints were a-begging
now they sing some sweet song in perrenial dawn
in an old unknown tongue, i reckon. like…

“lie-lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie

“lie-lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie

“lie-lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie
lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie”

[verse 4]
now the black-cappeds sing in the dawning of day
and the icicles melt on their way to the bay
so too it would seem i should be on my way
for i’ve lingered too long in the gloom
now the slants and the cracks in the walk, how they dance
and they talk as i take to a tune
i don’t know just where i’m a-goin’
but i’ll be going soon
