lyrics

take the 47 down
to the snow covered trails
free your heart to the winter night
ride those under passes
take that first mile, no one will watch you go
follow the river down to the lake
chase those impending lights

frozen lakes, steam escapes lungs; I'm just prayin' for a body to keep me warm
frozen lakes, steam escapes lungs; I'm just prayin' for a body to keep me warm

at dusk you can find yourself on these city streets
but the devils work always finds idle hands
midnight strikes, you've lost yourself again in drink
There's no place as lonely, why did we come here?

frozen lakes, steam escapes lungs; I keep grabbing at everything I've lost
frozen lakes, steam escapes lungs; and I keep coming up empty handed

you left part of yourself on that trail
now you wake everyday saying out loud
'Hats off Morning Sun, did the Night return my heart?

frozen lakes, steam escapes lungs; I'm just prayin' for a body to keep me warm
frozen lakes, steam escapes lungs; I'm just prayin' for a body to keep me warm
