lyrics

Drag my head out of bed in the fading dark
Join the a.m. shuffle into work
There’s a mile-long line at the coffee shop
I head downtown where the traffic’s stopped
Grey skies, long nights, groundhog days
It’s winter in the city

She’s sleeping rough down by the riverside
Late last night she had to run and hide
She’s got a sign saying, “Hey do you care?
I’m hungry and cold and I need bus fare!”
Grey skies, long nights, groundhog days
It’s winter in the city

Larks and widows calling from the rooftops
Every heart is leaning to the light
Anticipation of a sea change
Scanning the horizon for a sign

He’s got a black hat, short cape, cowboy boots
Striding large up Midland Avenue
Catch a bus to a train heading west somewhere
He caught a scent of independence in the air
Grey skies, long nights, groundhog days
It’s winter in the city

Grey skies, long nights, got to get away
From winter in the city
