Wayside Tavern

Winter wind whining low
Snow covered ground
Midnight sky as black as ink
Snowflakes like stars falling down
Wayside tavern window light
Beckons unto me
Tarry by the hearts I bribe
And keep good company

I stepped in to join the din
So carefree and so loud
Just to lose old Mr. Blues
And mingle with the crowd

Blue light glows where the whiskey flows
In amber down my glass
Burns my lips like your passionate kiss
I can’t let you pass
Fiddles play love’s melody
Calls me to the dance
And your eyes like distant stars
Embrace me with your trance

Morning sun new fallen snow
You’re warm within my arms
Catch our breath in frosty air
No strangers to love’s charms
Any time you want me
I’ll find my way to you
And the wayside tavern door
With my old friend Mr. Blues
