There's a cool wind blows
Through the juniper and pine
And it carries my thoughts
In the cabin at the end of
December gnaws on the shingles
And the summer's soft on the vine
Through the window I know
There's a warm light that glows
All for a true love of mine
Cherry Lane, Cherry Lane, I wonder
How I could leave her behind
Take up a job in this big city small
Where on earth the peace I can find
And I'll spark up the Ford
Throw my worries by the way
Drive till she's in my arms again
road to the Johnson County line
Farther still to her door
But if she'll take me inside
All bleary -eyed and crazy
Somewhere out on the M -Radio,
you'll find a familiar refrain
Stay up all night down Cherry Lane
