Snow came up Friday, I gotta go

Spending winter up in Buffalo

Someone I met there is calling me so

Got to escape the blues man, don't you know



Days of sinking summer packed up and gone

Nothing helps me, there's nothing wrong

It was so pleasant, incandescent, it's over now

We should get going



Lady I know there, name of Christina

Six lonely lifetimes since I've seen her

She takes you places your heart cannot go

During the winter up in Buffalo



Days by her fire, dazed in the glow

Winter surrounds us up in Buffalo



Days of drowsy pleasure in the afternoon dark

We drift together, we drift apart

She's got the wherewithal, she's got the knowledge

It's wonderful

I should be going



Out there the Snow Queen is kidnapping boys

Her block-of-ice heart tunes out the noise

And soft in the bedroom her eyes indigo

Sleeping in the winter in Buffalo



Down in Buffalo
