SnowTime James Taylor

[Verse 1]
Oleana, via Del Norte, O Canada
It was snowtime, it was showtime, it was no time
To be lost in downtown Toronto
It was wintertime, ‘round dinnertime
I’m beginning to see that the sunshine just doesn’t want to
From a side street come a backbeat
Pulling on me like the moon pullin’ on the tide
Ay caramba, one-note samba, la la la la bamba
Lighting me up inside

[Chorus]
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
And every note was the antidote to December

[Verse 2]
My first impression, some kind of procession
Pulling on a long line of fancy dancers
A band stuck up on a flatbed truck
They were raising a ruckus swinging for the fences
Exiled Mexican textile working
Punching two clocks, sending two paychecks home boys
Hard working law ‘biding bus riding people
Celebration on wheels destination unknown
