once again the wind will blow cold
the ice will come with months of snow
that restless feeling fills your soul
where is that place you need to go?
dreams that wrap around your mind
of mountains and starry summer nights
those days of wandering partially blind
don't keep you warm at all tonight
that temptation to just break away
the piper gone now that he's been paid
as you climbed the steepest grade
the shadows that you try to persuade
you once revealed it all to me
the list you needed to set you free
after days and months of disbelief
on some things we will never agree
I read your mind but not your heart
after all of my tries, the stops and starts
the passion that played the biggest part
innuendo spoken in our remarks
I couldn't pass your litmus test
never the one that you loved best
like History that gets laid to rest
you begin again, just one more quest
once again the wind will blow cold
the ice will come with months of snow
that restless feeling recaptures your soul
where is that place you long to go?
