Josh Joplin Group – Dutch Wonderland lyrics

Beneath the snow lies a dream that I once had
And I know that I'll never go back
To the christmas colored neighborhood as thoughtful as a card
With a plastic baby jesus in the yard

Chorus

Where the gym teacher was always mad and as far as we could tell
He only exercised his right to yell

Or at least as long as our curfews would allow
Couple skates, love-sick songs, in moments without pause
As johnny cougar amplified our cause

And freedom just depended on the car
Until one day the sky fell in and freedom lost control
And ran off the road and hit a pole

Chorus

Beneath the snow lies a dream that I once had
