lyrics

A frigid wind blows dry and westerly
She repels and toys with me, and whips so callously
Seeking as the crescent moon meanders on its lonely path
Only for a glowing hearth to escape Aeolus' wrath
Hoping in the twilight mire
For an entre from a house just passed

Come in you silly fool
Why do you wander all alone?
Kiss me, I've missed you dear
You could have called me on the phone
It's cold and late and the fire waits
And I've been worrying about you so...

But the wind just blows
The wind just blows
Unceasingly
Will it end? Who knows?

Strangers carouse and drink and reel
With their jaded senses feel the pleasures that they steal
Though this is the way things are
We needn't now live in the past
Love would be a welcome change
Won't you now remove that ugly mask?
Let us all now laugh and sing
Before they chant requiem mass

Come in you silly fool
Why do you wander all alone?
Time's so short, my friend
Allow yourself but to be known
Break down the walls that have enthralled
Your spirit to the dusty low
Tear and shatter
It's such an easy matter

Come and join with me
We'll make the scoffers see that the nowhere land is not a hollow dream
Companions are around, although they must be found
You've just to care and smile and let your love abound
Take my hand
To the grand bandstand, we'll go
I'll show
And they you'll see that I was right and you were right to leave

The music's playing, there's no delaying, for the time is here and now

about

Showroom Toronto, Ontario

Showroom was a band. A good band. While Toronto is a city, Showroom was a band within that city, and received praise from music critics who themselves were human beings with feelings.

Showroom made music that made people want to dance, smile, reflect, run, walk, roll over, heel, and eat dinner. Their records were projected to sell over 1,000,000,000,000 copies. Outrageous? No. Just call it true. ... more
