Snow came up Friday, I gotta go   Spending winter up in Buffalo   Someone I met there is callin' me so   Got to escape the blues man, don't you know?      Days of sinkin' summer packed up and gone   Nothin' helps me, there's nothin' wrong   It was so pleasant, incandescent, it's over now   We should get goin'      Lady I know there, name of Christina   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 goin'      Out there the Snow Queen is kidnappin' boys   Her block-of-ice heart tunes out the noise   And soft in the bedroom her eyes indigo   Sleepin' in the winter in Buffalo      Down in Buffalo
