John Hiatt - Howlin' Down The Cumberland Lyrics
Artist: John Hiatt
Album: Master Of Disaster
Genre: Country
- Songwriters: John Hiatt
Caught like a deer in my own headlights
Frozen on this road tonight
I had a fix on the brightest star
Now I'm not sure, where you are
North is south and east is west
Where's the love that I knew best
Shifting in this icy wind
Howlin' down the Cumberland
You're in this valley that I love
Cold and far as the stars above
Do I have to wait 'til spring is here?
Just to hold you warm and near
Dead of winter, dead of night
Not much time to make it right
I know where that lonesome sound begins
Howlin' down the Cumberland
Just a creature in the dark
Longing for one blessed spark
To burn the sky and heat the night
With love reborn by morning light
But nature doesn't heed the call
Nature just commands that's all
Now my love's a cutting wind
Howlin' down the Cumberland
Now my love's a cutting wind
Howlin' down the Cumberland
In the Know
