Howlin' Down The Cumberland

Caught like a deer in my own headlights

Frozen on this road tonight

I had a fix on the brightest star

Now I'm not sure where you are

North is south and east is west

Where's the love that I knew best

Shifting in this icy wind

Howlin' down the Cumberland

You're in this valley that I love

Cold and far as the stars above

Do I have to wait 'til spring is here?

Just to hold you warm and near

Dead of winter, dead of night

Not much time to make it right

I know where that lonesome sound begins

Howlin' down the Cumberland

Just a creature in the dark

Longing for one blessed spark

To burn the sky and hear the night

with love reborn by morning light

But nature doesn't heed the call

Nature just commands that's all

Now my love's a cutting wind

Howlin' down the Cumberland

Now my love's a cutting wind

Howlin' down the Cumberland
