When the Nights Are Cold Songtext
von Joe Ely

Please don′t ask me to swim that river
Please don't ask me for silver and gold
I can′t give you things that I can't deliver
But I'll keep you warm when the nights are cold

The moon is high, the stars are blinkin′
Clouds are driftin′ so slow and low
And I just can't keep myself from thinking
That I′ll keep you warm when the nights are cold


The moon is gone now, the rain is fallin'
Clouds are driftin′ so slow and low
And the fire is dyin', the logs are fallin′
But I'll keep you warm when the nights are cold

Please don't ask me to swim that river
Please don′t ask me for silver and gold
I can′t give you things that I can't deliver
But I′ll keep you warm when the nights are cold
I'll keep you warm when the nights are cold
