Throw me down my overcoat
and bundle down the low road
Sunday is the one day
that I can't be late for work
The sun is on the mountain,
the mist is in the valley
Will anybody miss me
when I'm gone?
Going home, going home
Sailing on a frozen river all day long
Send the word, have you heard?
With the break of winter I'll be there
Look out from your window,
silver clouds are flying
Your eyes are full of sleep
as the sky is full of snow
Wrap the blankets around you darling,
keep the fire burning
Though it don't seem like it now,
before you know it,
we'll be going home.
Going home, going home.
Sailing on a frozen river all day long.
Send the word, heavy bird.
With the break of winter,
I'll be there.
Now just the sight of heaven,
a lonely tall man's waitin',
and he's countin' up your miles
while you're walkin'
down your days.
Though it may seem easy,
while the sun will linger,
you can bet there's a cold wind blowin'
on the other side of town.
Goin' home, goin' home,
sailin' on a frozen river all day long.
Send the word, heavy bird
With the break of winter, I'll be there
Goin' home, goin' home
We are sailin' on a frozen river, all laid alone
Send the word, heavy bird
With the break of winter, I'll be there you
