Lyrics Blood Oranges In The Snow - Over the Rhine

Blood Oranges In The Snow

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)
