"Blood Oranges In The Snow" lyrics

"Blood Oranges In The Snow"

Just a little while longer
Before we know
We'll be eating blood oranges
In the snow

The border crossing
Was moving slow
With all this weather
It's been touch and go

But we keep driving
We're not afraid
The snow in our headlights
Confetti in a parade

And we've got maybe
Oh, a 100 more miles
I'm gonna hold Grace's baby
They say she's all smiles

Just a little while longer
Before we know
We'll be eating blood oranges
In the snow

Daddy's gonna play Red Wing
Like it's the only song he knows
Mama's washin' dishes
Singin' soft and low

She'll ask me to play
From the gospel hymnal
Try to find an old song
She don't know

Who Made The Lilies?
On The Jericho Road
Let The Lower Lights Be Burning
Be Still My Soul

Just a little while longer
Before we know
We'll be eating blood oranges
In the snow

And he will gather us
All of us kids
And read pioneer stories
Of the great north woods

And the silent panther
Patient in the trees
With the pioneer children
Walkin' home beneath

Just a little while longer
Before we know...
