Standard (EADGBE)

Snow bound siren in the winter dawn

 Thers's a blizzard blowing in from off the river

 It's ten below below out on these city streets

 But the feeling in your heart is even colder

 The sunrise screeching down the line

And the fogbanks running out of time

 But you won't be here when they creep in tomorrow

 You're tired of dreaming someone's elses's dream

 When they really don't include you any longer

 Miles from home you're sliding down with each day

 And you need a woman's love to make you stronger

 And lately you've been having doubts

A voice inside keeps calling out

 That someone else's dream don't get you nowhere

So shut the suitcase kiss the year goodbye

 Don't let nobody stop you at the doorway

 And close the shutters on this empty room

 Where these crazy dreams come crawling to devour you

 And head on out across that line

Where she's been waiting all this time

 And tell her that you want her there forever

It's still two hours till this plane gets down

 Can hardly beat to wait another minute

 Your sweet loving babe is all that I need

 Darling it's been building up inside of me

Tonight we'll go and paint this town

We're gonna drink champagne till we both fall down

 And we'll find some other crazy dream tomorrow
