Blood Oranges In The Snow Lyrics - Blood Oranges In The Snow - Over The Rhine

Just a little while longer 

Before we know 

We'll be eating blood oranges 

In the snow 

The border crossing 

Was moving slow 

With all this weather 

It's been touch and go 

But we keep driving 

We're not afraid 

The snow in our headlights 

Confetti in a parade 

And we've got maybe 

Oh, a 100 more miles 

I'm gonna hold Grace's baby 

They say she's all smiles 

Just a little while longer 

Before we know 

We'll be eating blood oranges 

In the snow 

Daddy's gonna play Red Wing 

Like it's the only song he knows 

Mama's washin' dishes 

Singin' soft and low 

She'll ask me to play 

From the gospel hymnal 

Try to find an old song 

She don't know 

Who Made The Lilies? 

On The Jericho Road 

Let The Lower Lights Be Burning 

Be Still My Soul 

Just a little while longer 

Before we know 

We'll be eating blood oranges 

In the snow 

And he will gather us 

All of us kids 

And read pioneer stories 

Of the great north woods 

And the silent panther 

Patient in the trees 

With the pioneer children 

Walkin' home beneath 

Just a little while longer 

Before we know
