There is nothing - so lonely as the highway
Or as cold as the prairies in winter
There is nothing like the January hours
When Aurora’s not dancing at night
There is nothing - so constant as the sorrow
Or as haunted as the heart when it’s breaking
There is nothing like remembering the hour
Waking up on that morning, he was gone.
When there is no sign of life on the farm
Folks are homebound or in the town
It seems like winter will never let go
Of its grip on this frozen horizon
But the sound of old - snowmobiles pushing sixty
As they cross the frozen water stills your heart
And picks you up to welcome your neighbour
Who drove for miles with a smile made just for you
There is nothing - so honest as the winter
And warm-hearted as Canadian prairies
There is nothing so blessed as the hours
When Aurora comes dancing once more
When there is no sign of life on the farm
Folks are homebound or in the town
It seems like winter will never let go
Of its grip on this frozen horizon
When there is no sign of life on the farm
Folks are homebound or in the town
It seems like winter will never let go
Of its grip on this frozen horizon
Frozen horizon
Frozen horizon
This frozen horizon
