lyrics
Dreaming of a far away land
Here in the middle of winter
There’s a north wind blowing but it doesnt’ feel the same
Missing my home
I’ve been here too long
I have to stay a little longer so just hold me close
Hold me close and let me dream
Let the fire burn just you and me
The leaves don’t change here
But the time passes by
And I’ll be okay if I know your with me
Saturday’s come and gone
And we’re not getting any younger
This time that I had thought was getting closer
Just seems so far away
Missing my home
I’ve been here too long
I have to stay a little longer so just hold me close
(chorus)
Have we forgotton how I looked away this time
I wonder thinking about it
How you came and stood that way
And I told you
(chorus)
