moonlight & snow      © by James Koller 1986

moonlight & snow my love is sleeping
& my dreams are of her
as I sit in the window
& wish I was there asleep at her side

moonlight & snow my love is dreaming
& her dreams are of another
but I sit in the window
& wish I was there asleep at her side

moonlight & snow my love is for nothing
& my dreams are my own
as I sit in the window
& wish I was there asleep at her side

How I wish that I were home with you, Mary Ann
In the saddle on my strawberry roan.
But I am lost upon the ocean blue, Mary Ann
Far from fields and cattle, with a rattle in my bones.
