Dare ya draw me closer still And let me be the wild witness to the k** See how the stars abide Showing no resistance Late into the night Bluer than the winter wind that howls On a sleepless lake Me, I'm under no duress Offering my throat before a hungry lioness Hear how the jungle whines And beats a violent drum along
With these blues of mine Bluer than the winter wind that howls On a sleepless lake Where the light and shadows bend I walk your silent haunts Along the Michigan Grief, banished by the glow Electric dying autumn Has a color all of its own Bluer than the winter wind that howls On a sleepless lake
