Willie's Song Lyrics - Singles - Small Fred

Lately you been traveling more than you are here 

As your dreams describe a circle growing year by year 

The postcard you send from Vancouver or South Bend 

Recalls the friend too long away. 

CHORUS: 

May the rain run off your shoulder when you're caught in a storm 

When the frost comes a-calling may it find you safe and warm 

May your place be set, may your promises be kept, 

May you never forget you are loved. 

It was storming in Seattle when your car wouldn't start 

Sunny in Salinas, where you nearly broke your heart 

It was snowing in St. Paul but the people filled the hall 

And you sent them all home singing through the cold. 

CHORUS 

Night falls hard in a faraway place 

When you never knew the name and you can't recall the face 

Your timing's off, you're tired, you can't imagine why they hired you 

We are there in the silence by your side. 

CHORUS
