Moonlight and White

MOONLIGHT AND WHITE
 
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON
 
2019
 
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
