Willie's Song Lyrics

Lately you been traveling more than you are here As your dreams describe a circle growing year by year The postcard you send from Vancouver or South Bend Recalls the friend too long away. CHORUS: May the rain run off your shoulder when you're caught in a storm When the frost comes a-calling may it find you safe and warm May your place be set, may your promises be kept, May you never forget you are loved. It was storming in Seattle when your car wouldn't start Sunny in Salinas, where you nearly broke your heart It was snowing in St. Paul but the people filled the hall And you sent them all home singing through the cold. CHORUS Night falls hard in a faraway place When you never knew the name and you can't recall the face Your timing's off, you're tired, you can't imagine why they hired you We are there in the silence by your side. CHORUS
