Carol Montag - The Wind Blows Cold lyrics

Your mother kept a candy dish On the dining room buffet Bright colored candy Cellophane wrapped And it's probably there to this day You lived across the street from me Raised on the rosary And I on a Protestant prayer Nothing ever frightened you The sticks or the stone they threw You just didn't seem to care Now the winds blow cold The winds blow cold Dandelion chains Listening to the rain With a birds eye view from the tree You always looked out for me Now the winds blow cold The winds blow cold We got in such trouble When we picked the flowers From Mrs. McGavren's yard Well, I'm gonna run away You'll never see me again But I never got too far When we were autumns child You stayed with us a while Your mother went away No one would say just why Look us right in the eye and say, "Cause she cries and cries all day." Now the winds blow cold The winds blow cold Dandelion chains Listening to the rain With a birds eye view from the tree You always looked out for me Now the winds blow cold The winds blow cold Embrace the branches of the willow tree Swing with her to and fro 'Til your arms hurt because of the grip Fall to the ground when you let go It was red light, green light on the gra** London bridge fallen down Duck, duck goose and you moved away The thimble was never found Now the winds blow cold The winds blow cold Dandelion chains Listening to the rain With a birds eye view from the tree You always looked out for me Now the winds blow cold The winds blow cold
