There's a blizzard comin' on and I'm wishin' I was home
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
Listen to that northern sigh if we don't get home we'll die
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
You can bet we're on her mind for it's gettin' just about suppertime
Oh I know those hot biscuits're in the fryin' pan
Lord my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes
But it's only five more miles to Mary Anne it's only five more miles to Mary Anne
That wind's a howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams
And we'd best be movin' faster if we can
Dan just think about that barn with all that hay so soft and warm
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne it's only three more miles to Mary Anne
Dan get up your ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us
I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
All right Dan perhaps it's best we'll stop just a little while and rest
For it's still another mile to Mary Anne it's still another mile to Mary Anne
Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn
He'd have made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan
Yes they found him out there on the plains his hands were frozen to the reins
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
There's a blizzard comin' on how I'm wishin' I was home
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
Listen to that norther sigh if we don't get home we'll die
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
It's only seven miles to Mary Anne
You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly suppertime
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
Lord, my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes
But, it's only five more miles to Mary Anne
It's only five more miles to Mary Anne
That wind's howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams
And we'd best be movin' faster if we can
Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm
For it's only three more miles to Mary Anne
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne
Dan get up you ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us
I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
All right Dan perhaps it's best that we stop awhile and rest
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne
It's still a hundred yeards to Mary Anne
Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn
He'd a made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan
Yes, they found him there on the plains his hands frozed to the reins
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
There's a blizzard comin' on and I'm wishin' I was home
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
Lord my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly suppertime
And I bet there's hot biscuits in the pan

Weather advisory, one for the diaries
Windy and cold so stay off the road
It's bitter outside your windows
Stack your blankets, light your candles
There isn't a phone booth, and ain't it the cold truth
It's a lonely old highway, just me and the plows
Making the most of their payday
Laying salt in the wounds of the roadways
(chorus)
For your bed I'll beat the cold,
With a blizzard in my headlights, or an avalanche in the road
Snow blinds every road sign,
So I'm counting the miles as I'm going
There's a shroud of black ice forming
The radio sends out ample warning...
Up on the next hill, a trailer truck load spilled It spun in a jacknife, and now it's a still life
Framed by the flares and the cruisers, Orange coats and one sore loser...
(chorus)
In hindsight, it's been a long night
And where I was was not so cold
Another sound bite off the dash lights
It's more than a foot or so they're told
Two hundred miles to Chicago, my eyes froze to the road
Mesmerized as the windshield collides with the snow...
Weather advisory, one for the diaries
As a child I missed a lot of love I never had
And daddy he was distant
Never there to hold my hand
Never bought the things he'd always promise to give me
Mother made up for him always watching over me
Days would go by and we would never see his face
In my mind I'd wonder 'Does he have another place?'
If and when he'd come in he would always be upset
All the kids were scared his next syndrome would be a fret
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family's important to be there if you need
Father never taught us these things mom said to me
Now the table's turned so tell me you need me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Just to me
You need me
Daddy daddy dearest, what is it you want from me
(Tell me)
I won't turn my back on you the way you did with me
Now you try to give and always faking not to cry
I'll give you what I can but I can't give what I don't have
Mother lends a shoulder, to cry on if you need
But are you there for mother when she needs your company?
Father never taught us, these things mom said to me
Now the table's turned so tell me
You need me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Say
You need me
If you realize we need each other, we will be a closer family.
I need you, yeah
I need you, and you know that
Say
You need me
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family's important to be there if you need
Father never taught us, no no never taught us
Just to me
You need me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Just to me
Say
You need me
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family's important to be there if you need
Father never taught us these things mom said to me
Now the table's turned so tell me you need me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Just to me
You need me
Mother lends a shoulder to cry on if you need
But are you there for mother when she needs your company?
Are you there for mother?
Are you there for mother?
Are you there for mother?
Father never taught us these things mom said to me
Just to me
You need me
The bliz'
her hair in count
and the blizzard
it came and went
And we played twister
'till our joints got sore
again
And I need to take it off
and for a little while
that I need to take it off
We watched A tall
covered way
Yeah we thought
the moonbeams froze that night
And we played twister
'till our joints got sore
again
And I need to take it off
and for a little while
and I need to take it off
And I need to take it off
and for a little while
and I need to take it off
you´re looking through me far beyond
take the bridge over saphyres pond
loving you can break away
like a blizzard on it´s way
this is not the final end
i can take you by my hand
we can go and leave this place
for another better space
that´s just enough to mesmerize
i know that i can not say why
keep me up and i´ll hold you tight
we have all the world in time
this is not the final end
i can take you by my hand
we can go and leave this place
Blizzard
I can see what you see not.
Vision milky then eyes rot.
When you turn they will be gone.
Then you see what cannot be,
Shadows move where light should be.
Out of darkness, out of mind.
Do you remember when we ran through the blizzard
From the train station?
The snow in new york covered up half of the door
And yet we still would brave it.
All we could do was sit practice our tunes
And maybe watch an episode of Lost,
We slept on the blow up mattress
And talked about how lucky we were to be here
You helped me through the door,
That we've stared at since I can remember,
I'd watch the city from the window on the train,
You can't sit still for anything
But it's out stop so it won't matter anyway.
It was early December when the call from our leader
Established our new assignment, in Atlanta
We tried to make things work but found ourselves
Feeling mixed up, I couldn't write anymore.
And so we packed all of our things
And headed north for the spring,
I was finally single for once,
Then tour finally started
We had our friends and our guitars
Ready to take on the unknowing world,
You helped me through the door,
That we've stared at since I can remember,
And we knew there was so much more,
Now this is life yeah this is what we've waited for.
I'd watch the city from the window on the train,
You can't sit still for anything
But it's our stop so it won't matter anyway.
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Oohh
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
There's a winter storm with my name on it
And it's cutting up the coast
On the radar there's a ghost
Clear to the Carolinas
It feels like years since December
And it seems like more till spring
I swear I'll bear up under anything
That this one can dump on me
It's a white rage
It's a blank page
-Blizzard
It's the mind of winter,
One last drunken
-Blizzard
I've got candles on the counter
Water in the tub
Survival skills I know, but
Living I can't understand
The wind howls all night long
And the big plows thunder in the street
You can hear the snow turn to sleet
There goes the mailbox again
It's a white rage
It's a blank page
-Blizzard
It's the mind of winter,
One last drunken
-Blizzard
And the flames sing in the dark
Some stupid love song bout a broken heart
I'd just as soon be holed up for days
Dig out in my own time
Lean on my shovel, squint in the sunshine
Shout to the neighbors, make sure they remember me!
And I know you're not coming back
I can't say I blame you for that
just so long you can stand
Living with a snowman
It's a white rage
It's a blank page
-Blizzard
It's the mind of winter,
One last drunken
-Blizzard
When you want somebody talking sweet romance
And you know what side of you there is no chance
Listen to your lonely heart
Just imagine what you are
All you need is someone to believe
Without you, without you
I can't forget your love
I'm still without you, without you
I can't believe you're gone
I can't survive it without you. I can't forget your love
I'm still without you, without you.
Live without your love
When you want somebody crying out for pain
And you want to get your anger out again
Listen to your soul inside
Just imagine what you want
There's a winter storm with my name on it
And it's cutting up the coast
On the radar there's a ghost
Clear to the Carolinas
It feels like years since December
And it seems like more till spring
I swear I'll bear up under anything
That this one can dump on me
It's a white rage
It's a blank page

I'm out, i've slept all day
I need a walk in fresh air tonight
First snow comes down
Pounders my good coat
Melts on the street
And my shoes get soaked
Hey blizzard light up the sky
Light up the ground
'cause it's nice to see
I've got a long walk ahead of me
Come down and bury me
Last night my love shut the door
Her yelling started in the hall
And ended in the kitchen
And made no sense at all
It's all been said before
Hey blizzard level with me
Because i'd like to feel
How you fling down on me
Cover me up and leave
Hey blizzard don't get bored
You have done this before
It feels like we've always been here
There's a blizzard comin' on how I'm wishin' I was home
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
Listen to that northern sigh if we don't get home we'll die
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne yes it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly suppertime
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
Lord my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes
But it's only five more miles to Mary Anne yes it's only five more miles to Mary Anne
That wind's blowin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams
And we'd best be movin' faster if we can
Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm
For it's only three more miles to Mary Anne yes it's only three more miles to Mary Anne
Dan get up your ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us
And I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
All right Dan perhaps it's best that we'll stop awhile and rest
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne yes it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne
Late that night the storm was gone they found him there at dawn
He'd made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan
Yes they found him on the plains with his hands froze to the reins
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
