The traveller is tired, the sun will soon set
I once was inspired, but why I forget
I've seen through the city and all that it's not
Though really, I don't need a lot
Refrain:
Just build me a cabin, surround me with snow
Cuz I'd love to go where there's nowhere to go
With someone beside me sipping on tea
And under the afghan we'll be, only be

Well the rats have all scurried, the streets are all bare
But tomorrow the hurried and worried and scared
Will be scratching the sidewalks
For a last piece of cheese
And all I can ask you is, please

Refrain

The kettle is calling from over the stove
Never a fire was so lovingly felt
Under drifts that the winter winds drove
In a world where the snows never melt

And hour after hour, I sit and I stare
Watching the faces emerge from the glare
They rise and descend into dust
I don't want to leave but I know that I must
And so armed with an image, I'll walk with the blind
My road is a rough one, to this I'm resigned
But when searching for solace, it's not very far
Cuz whenever I grab my guitar

I'm stuck in a cabin, surrounded with snow
And happy to be where there's nowhere to go
With someone beside me, sipping on tea
And under the afghan with me

Refrain
