She stayed awake at night
pen on paper
writing about her love
haunted and alive
She could leave
but why not stay
She wrote
I have a love that pulls the waves like the moon
it pushes back again.
Like our love when it’s gone
seems like forever
it returns once more to the shore
chorus
These cold winds blow through Ontario
it shakes the windows frosted glaze
Batten down the hatches
Sweater wool
cotton sweet
underneath
blankets piled high
feather pillows
She left her family
hit the road, it was cold
Sad country’s playing on the radio
she just drove
She thought I have a love that pulls the tides
like the moon
it pushes back again
Like our love
when it’s gone
seems like forever
it returns once more to the shore
These cold winds blow across Lake Ontario
Chorus
