F
Dakota Girl loves the wintertime
Bb
she longs to hear the wind around the door
C
she’ll stay up ’til the fire is out
F
just to feel her icy feet upon the hardwood floor
F
she cherishes this time alone
Cm7 F9
she’ll wait until the the sun is gone
Bb Gm7
and never feel the need to light the light
C7
it’s windy and it’s cold and it’s dark and she’s alone
F
and she’s never felt as grounded as she feels tonight
F
outside the wind becomes a stream
Bb
that slithers in that gap between her clothes
C7
tickling on her hidden skin
F
like water trickling down until her legs are froze
F
with open arms she starts to float
Cm7 F9
she’ll welcome with an open coat
Bb Gm7
to twirl around and take the coolness in
C7
she’s open to all the mysteries
out floating on the slightest breeze
F
and winter is that water that she’s floating in
F
some people have a passion
Bb
that their summer-loving sisters cannot know
C7
summer-lovers cannot understand
F
the beauty of all the diamonds on the coldest snow
F
the wind will make her tears to come
Cm7 F9
and for a moment, when her cheeks are numb
Bb Gm7
the stars are brighter than she’s ever seen
C7
and the way-out-there’s just black as tar
clear out to the furthest star
F
she’s closer now to heaven than she’s ever been
F
Dakota girl loves winter time
Bb
and she longs to hear the wind around the door
C7
she’ll stay up ’til the fire is out
F
just to feel her icy feet upon the hardwood floor
