Blurt.Media Blues Radio : Winter on Moon River


Listen Later

The ice is thick

The line is thin
Fish ain't biting
But I reel it in
The snow’s a blanket
The moon’s a grin
Stuck here ‘til the thaw begins
Trapped in this log box
The fire's low
Got a fiddle and a flask to fight the snow

[Chorus]

Winter on Moon River
Ain't no place to go
Ice fishing
Wood walking
In a cabin buried low
Snow keeps falling
Sky turns to stone
We’re frozen together
Can’t call it alone

[Verse 2]

Pine trees whisper secrets in the breeze
Frost on the window
Like lace on the trees
Boots by the fire
Steam rising slow
Whittling a spoon
Got nowhere to go
The harmonica wails
Like a coyote's plea
The river's asleep
But it dreams of the sea

[Prechorus]

The fiddle laughs
The bass hums deep
Snowflakes tap on the roof in their sleep

[Chorus]

Winter on Moon River
Ain’t no place to go
Ice fishing
Wood walking
In a cabin buried low
Snow keeps falling
Sky turns to stone
We’re frozen together
Can’t call it alone

[Bridge]

A squirrel taps the pane
Like it’s keeping score
I tap my boots
But the rhythm’s poor
Fingers stiff
Harmonica's wheeze
Whistle a tune ‘bout the moon and the freeze
