Over Here

wake up late in north l.a.
i hesitate then pick up the phone
it’s a snowy day in winnipeg
from far away i wish myself there
oh another winter
oh another full moon
and it’s all i can do
to be without you one more year
out over here

it’s days like this i really miss
no time or place can ever compare
to christmas day
we’re all awake
your warm embrace
the look on your face
but oh another winter
it’s getting cold
the stars and moon remind me
how it used to snow
i remember winter every single fall
and it’s all i can do
to be here without you one more year
out over here
