Winter Star

The night air holds a chill
Though it’s still sweet and dry
I can see Orion shining with my naked eye.
I came up north to find you
And found that you were gone.
And now the highway’s frozen
With winter coming on.
Winter star shine in the distance
Your light is so cold and clear.
Winter star tell me why is it
Where you are is never here?

The snow they’ve predicted,
I guess it’s all blown west.
And aren’t all the winter trees
So thin and sadly dressed.
They said you talked about me,
That I was the only one.
Then you left for New York City
Somewhere before the dawn.
Winter star shine in the distance
Your light is so cold and clear.
Winter star tell me why is it
Where you are is never here?

The night air holds a chill
Though it’s still sweet and dry
I can see Orion shining with my naked eye.
I don’t want to change you,
Just want to feel your light
So I follow the frozen highway
To New York City tonight.
Winter star shine in the distance
Your light is so cold and clear.
Winter star tell me why is it
Where you are is never here?
Where you are is never here.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Hold Our Ground CD.
