"North By Northeast" lyrics

Providence to Boston, conditions worsening
Close the Mass Pike, salt trucks circling
Shut down the MTA, too much snow
There's no place I wanna go

Pies in the oven, lights all twinkling
Flour on your nose, dash of cinnamon
Your brother checked in from L.A.
Said he sure misses Gloucester Bay
I'm glad we're home for the holidays

On this snowy New England winter's night
With you by my side, I feel so alive
On this snowy New England winter's eve
Hey, Robert Frost, would you believe
This quiet and peace, North by Northeast

Carrot for a snowman, patch of wintergreen
Maine and New Hampshire maple-syruping
Our boots drying by the wood stove's edge
Our arms reaching cross that feather bed
I love you and you're my best friend

On this snowy New England winter's night
With you by my side, I feel so alive
On this snowy New England winter's eve
Hey, Robert Frost, would you believe
This quiet and peace, North by Northeast

North by Northeast

On this snowy New England winter's night
With you by my side, I feel so alive
On this snowy New England winter's eve
Hey, Robert Frost, how can it be
The world is asleep and all is serene
We're finally at peace, North by Northeast
North by Northeast

Cheeks and runny noses
Icicles glistening
Tall green mountains
Snowstorm blizzarding
Fogging up the windows
Children caroling
Tromping through the windrows
Here we go wassailing
North by Northeast
North by Northeast
