[Chorus]
And it's cold tonite, and the wind ain't right for walkin'
And the coals are bright but my mind ain't right for talkin'
So come in to the sittin' room
Throw away your wooden spoon
And I'll put away this old Joe tune I'm playin'
And we'll tell each other secrets with our eyes
And make the world turn in our hands
[Verse 1]
Now, the sights and sounds around me left me breathless for a while
But it's crazy on the road and there's no room there for the child That lives inside me
And I can't find the comfort there I find at home
[Verse 2]
Well, they say it's good to ramble if the ramblin' makes you wise
But all the miles I've driven have just made me realize
That there is no Heaven and no Hell just the spell of love
I see it in your eyes
[Chorus]
And it's cold tonite, and the wind ain't right for walkin'
And the coals are bright but my mind ain't right for talkin'
So come into the sittin' room
Throw away your wooden spoon
And I'll put away this old Joe tune I'm playin'
And we'll tell each other secrets with our eyes
And make the world turn in our hands
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Now, the cats are in the kitchen keepin' shelter from the storm
They huddle close together, keep each other from all harm
But this roof will keep us dry
And the love we've found is bound to keep us warm
[Chorus]
And it's cold tonite, and the wind ain't right for walkin'
And the coals are bright but my mind ain't right for talkin'
So come into the sittin' room
Throw away your wooden spoon
And I'll put away this old Joe tune I'm playin'
And we'll tell each other secrets with our eyes
And make the world turn in our hands
[Outro]
And we'll tell each other secrets with our eyes
And make the world turn in our hands
