Two frozen rivers, with ice like boulders
Cracking past Portage and Maine
Dark downtown buildings, one glowing tavern
Are breaking loose from winter’s chainsCHO
The winter wind whistling, the outside air
And inside it’s like we found summer somewhere
My car is all rusted, from roadcrew salt
And doing the Winnipeg waltz
Railroads and water, Assiniboine and red
The reasons why we’re here
The continent’s center, the middle of it all
Hangin’ out and drinkin’ beer
CHO
It’s too cold to snow now but we don’t care
And inside it’s like we found summer somewhere
My car is all rusted from roadcrew salt
And doin’ the Winnipeg waltz
I love you more in the frozen winter
I think about you beneath your clothes
Lets have one more drink in this crowded tavern
I’ll kiss your chilly lips and your frozen nose
CHO
The winter wind whistlin’ the outside air
And inside it’s like we found summer somewhere
You won’t turn to a pumpkin or a pillar of salt
From doin’ the Winnipeg waltz
