Snow came up Friday, I gotta go 
Spending winter up in Buffalo 
Someone I met there is calling me so 
You've got to escape the blues man, don't you know 

Days of sinking summer packed up and gone 
Nothing helps me, there's nothing wrong 
It was so pleasant, incandescent, it's over now 
We should get going 

Lady I know there, name of Christina 
The six lonely lifetimes since I've seen her 
She takes you places your heart cannot go 
During the winter up in Buffalo 

Days by her fire, dazed in the glow 
Winter surrounds us up in Buffalo 

Days of drowsy pleasure in the afternoon dark 
We drift together, we drift apart 
She's got the wherewithal, she's got the knowledge 
It's wonderful 
I should be going 

Out there the Snow Queen is kidnapping boys 
Her block-of-ice heart tunes out the noise 
And soft in the bedroom her eyes indigo 
Sleeping in the winter in Buffalo 

Down in Buffalo
