Collingswood in wintertime
here come the snowplows in a line
and all the salt they leave behind to melt the ice
will melt the ice
you're asking "when'd it get so dark?"
we're drinking whisky in Knight Park
we pass it back and forth with frozen fingers snuff our cigarettes
and then your left hand grabs my right and under incandescent light
we move in closer and make out, a little while
now you're leaning into me i feel your warmth upon my cheek
feel the cold creep up my feet, the fire inside
Collingswood in wintertime
here come the snowplows in a line
and all the salt they leave behind to melt the
ice will melt the ice
and though i wouldn't change a thing
i'm looking forward to this spring
and all the good that it will bring for you and me
