From the recording Hard to Samba
from the album: Cowboys and Brazilians
Lyrics
you can fill the room with flowers
pull the shades to see the sun
and live on soul and rock and roll
and caffeine by the ton
you can leave the doors and windows open wide
but it’s hard to samba when it’s snowing outside
it’s hard to samba when it’s snowing outside
now Aracaju is calling
like the waves that kiss the shore
while you write your name on windowpanes
with the wind chill down to four
so close your eyes, pretend to hear the tide
but it’s hard to samba when it’s snowing outside
it’s hard to samba when it’s snowing outside
