Moonlight and White
MOONLIGHT AND WHITE
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

MOONLIGHT AND WHITE
FAR AND WIDE
ITS FREEZING OUTSIDE
STOKE THE FIRE, HUNKER DOWN
DARK EYES DREAM
OF SWEETEST SUN FARAWAY
SAND INSTEAD OF SNOW
WHERE WARM BREEZES BLOW
I COULD SOON FORGET
THESE DARK
NORTHERN DAYS AND NIGHTS
THAT LEAVE ME COLD
I'M JUST HERE
AGAINST MY OWN ADVICE
I SHOULD OF HEADED SOUTH
INSTEAD OF BEING
STUCK HERE
IN THIS SNOW AND ICE
DOWN IN THAT SOUTHERN SUN
HOW COULD A HEART
NOT BE LIGHT
INSTEAD OF A STRUGGLE
JUST TO KEEP UPRIGHT
MAYBE I COULD SLOW DOWN
TAKE MY TIME
TRADE MY SNOW SHOVEL
FOR A FISHING LINE
NO ANOTHER STORM WILL DROP
ADD A FEW MORE FEET
TO THE TOP
SOMETIMES ITS JUST
TOO MUCH CHEER
FROZEN FEET AND
FROZEN BEER
I LOOKED UP TO
THE MOUNTAINS
YOU KNOW
I WATCHED THEM SLIDE
CLEARED A PATH
A HALF A MILE WIDE
THIS ICE AND SNOW
I DON'T KNOW
IT BRINGS ME DOWN
MAYBE I WOULDN'T
CARE SO MUCH
MAYBE I WOULDN'T MIND
IF I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE
I WAS GOING SNOW BLIND
MOONLIGHT AND WHITE
BLUE TO BLACK
ITS A LONG WAY BACK
