-----------------------------------
In the snow,
like a sleigh ride
the train holding us two
is running away
february 67
strawberry fields
a completely white winter view
sleep forever

like lovers in
a cold country
putting on
a coonskin cap
fingers gone numb
and like Quinn the eskimo
with a sniffy red nose
saying "I love you"

dashing, (strawberry sleighride)
the bullet train
to the weekend's vacation
right now, (strawberry sleighride)
we love each other,
just like when we were 7

In the snow,
both of us together
vow to love each other
all at once saying
even if the end of the 20th
century comes tomorrow
nobody but you!
things like that

dashing, (strawberry sleighride)
moving quickly to
the gloomy kingdom
right now, (strawberry sleighride)
we're in a bad mood,
just like when we were 7

in blue sunglasses,
like a dead actress,
don't be a snob:
tell me you love me
fingers feeling numb
and like Quinn the eskimo
tell me your old stories,
till I fall asleep

dashing, (strawberry sleighride)
the bullet train,
to the weekend vacation
right now, (strawberry sleighride)
we kiss
just like when we were 7
