Rainy Days in Midwinter

Rainy days in the midwinter

Waitin' for the thaw in Montreal

The ice is thick, so thick it like the

Windows on a submarine at

Twenty thousand leagues beneath the sea

And in Quebec it's even worse

There's an ice cream man who's out of business

Snow cones just aren't selling well

And now he has no reason for his bell

In Caribou things refuse to change

Six feet of show, six inch of rain

And in Quebec it's even worse

And I'm waitin' for my hearse in show tires and chains

To come and drive me away

And I know that each log on the fire

Could be my last

Wood stove, black smoke fill the air

Breathe deep, can't breathe and you swear

Stop, drop, roll, repeat when you get burned

In Ottawa things refuse to change

Six feet of snow, then comes the freezing rain

Could it get worse?

And I'm waitin' for my hearse in snow tires and chains

To come and drive me away

And I know that each log on the fire

Could be my last
