EYELIDS INTO SNOW

Sonny Condell

These days are getting' dimmer.
Reachin' down to get the headlight.
Tonight, tonight, get a little closer
to you.
It's very cold outside, tonight.
It's very warm in here with you.
Tonight, tonight, get a little closer,
to you.

Chorus
And then we're on our way,
we take a day.
We make a little time.
We're high up here above the road
and big windows are eyelids open into snow.

It don't take long to get a ride.
They see you shivering by the roadside:
"Get in , get in, it's really freezin'"

I can't hear a word what he's sayin'.
The Scottish driver's got no teeth.
He talks and talks about his children.
He talks and talks right up to Stockton.

CHORUS
And then we're on our way,
we take a day.
We make a little time.
We're high up here above the road
and big windows are eyelids open into snow.

And then we're on our way,
we take a day.
We make a little time.
We're high up here above the road
and big windows are eyelids open into snow.

And you're sleeping in the corner of the cab…..
When you waken up, we're driving into snow….
And the driver's thoughts are driving him,
they're driving him,
they're driving us…..
On and on.

It's a long jump down to the pavement.
I turn around and help you down.
We're miles and miles to the north, now.

It don't take long to get a ride.
They see you shivering by the roadside.
You can hear them say:
"Get in, get in, it's really freezin'
You can hear them say:
"Get in, get in, it's really freezin'
You can hear them say:
"Get in, get in, it's really freezin'
You can hear them say:
"Get in, get in, it's really freezin'

CHORUS
And then we're on our way,
we take a day.
We make a little time.
We're high up here above the road
and big windows are eyelids open into snow.

And then we're on our way,
we take a day.
We make a little time.
We're high up here above the road
and big windows are eyelids open into snow.
