Lyrics
[verse]
Frost is on the window, snow is on the sill
Streets are dressed in gray beneath a concrete hill
I close my eyes and picture golden shores somewhere
Palm trees swaying gentle in the warm salt air
[verse]
I told my baby "let's just pack a bag and go"
She looked outside and shivered at the falling snow
We could be walking barefoot where the ocean gleams
Instead we're stuck here, freezing, trapped inside our dreams
[chorus]
Wishing I was where the sun stays all year long
Wishing I could trade this cold for a warmer song
Every breath I take here turns to cloud and steam
I'd give it all to chase that golden coastline dream
[verse]
I passed a chapel, stepped inside to keep from the cold
Prayed for summer skies and a heart that don't grow old
The choir sang so soft it almost felt like grace
But when I stepped back out, still winter in my face
[chorus]
Wishing I was where the sun stays all year long
Wishing I could trade this cold for a warmer song
Every breath I take here turns to cloud and steam
I'd give it all to chase that golden coastline dream
[bridge]
Take me where the orange trees are blooming
Take me where December feels like June
Somewhere past this frozen city's gloom
There's a shoreline calling like a tune
[chorus]
Wishing I was where the sun stays all year long
Wishing I could trade this cold for a warmer song
Every breath I take here turns to cloud and steam
I'd give it all to chase that golden coastline dream
