Over The Rhine – Snow Birds lyrics

Blue lights hanging from the tall palm trees
White wine, catfish and a light gulf breeze
They’re saying it might drop to 60 degrees
For the snowbirds
Here come the snowbirds

Sandals, shorts and mosquitoes
Sunburns, bikinis and Speedos
People swimming in the ocean
It’s cold in there you know
But the snowbirds don’t mind
The snowbirds

I just wanna be with you all winter
Fly from the north to the south this winter
Where the sky goes on forever and ever
Where the ocean and my heart come together
No more snow boots no earmuffs no sweaters
Just warm weather, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

Sailboats and seagulls lined along the causeway
Painters with easels misted in a salt spray
There’s only one place I’m longing for today
Like a snowbird
Let me be a snowbird

I just wanna be with you all winter, yeah
Fly from the north to the south this winter
Where the sky goes on forever and ever
Where the ocean and my heart come together
No more snow boots, no earmuffs, no sweaters
Just warm weather
Yeah, just warm, just warm weather
Yeah, just warm, just warm weather
Just warm weather, yeah
Gimme warm, gimme warm weather
Gimme warm, gimme warm, gimme warm
