Blow On Chilly Wind (Live 1992) Lyrics


A little gray around the crown
A little hint of slowing down
She puts on some old evening gown
And dances alone
Years are hazy and days are slow
The seasons come and the reasons go
And while the wind and memory blows
She turns to stoneSayin'
Blow on, blow on chilly wind
Go ahead and blow
Blow on chilly wind
Just let the chilly wind blow
Yeah let the chilly wind blowDown the halls that whisper names
Through the walls and the picture frames
It's not just old in here
It's swirling underneath the door
And all around the cabinet drawers
It's getting pretty cold in hereBut I say

Blow on, blow on chilly wind
Go ahead and blow
Blow on chilly wind
Just let the chilly wind blowLet the chilly wind blow
And the chilly wind will blowI took a walk down by Shaker Square
A Christmas tree was standing there
That same old chill was in the air
And I buttoned up my overcoat
I thought of things that change and things that don't
How they say some folks will and some folks won'tBut I say
Blow on, blow on chilly wind
Go ahead and blow
Blow on chilly wind
Just let the chilly wind blowLet the chilly wind blow
And the chilly wind will blowSaid you must blow on, Mama
Blow on chilly windYou must blow on

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Marc Cohn (born July 5, 1959 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his song Walking In Memphis (often misattributed to Bruce Springsteen or Michael Bolton) from his self-titled 1991 album Marc Cohn.

According to the Walking In Memphis Songfacts, Cohn was discovered by Carly Simon in the mid-'80s when he was with a 14-piece band called The Supreme Court. Atlantic Records signed him in 1989, but the first attempts to record his debut album with Tracy Chapman 's producer David Kerschenbaum failed. Ten months later, he tried again, producing the set himself with help from the little-known Ben Wisch, who had helped him with his demos. Finally released in 1991 when Cohn was 31 years old, his self-titled debut album was a huge hit, thanks to the massive success of "Walking In Memphis." Cohn won the 1991 Grammy for Best New Artist award, beating out both Boyz II Men and Seal and Seal. Cohn never matched the chart success of this song, but like his musical heroes Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne , he remained a critical and artistic success as a songwriter and performer.

He has issued two other studio albums to date, The Rainy Season (1993) and Burning the Daze (1998), both on Atlantic Records. A self-released live compilation, Live 04-05 (2005), is being sold at concerts on his current tour.

He is the most famous graduate of Beachwood High School in Beachwood, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb. He attended Oberlin College.

The Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1992 was awarded to Cohn.

Cohn is married to ABC News journalist Elizabeth Vargas whom he met at the 1999 US Open after being introduced by Andre Agassi. Cohn and Vargas have two sons: Zachary Raphael (born on January 31, 2003) and Samuel Wyatt (born on August 16, 2006). Cohn has two other children—Max and Emily—from a previous marriage.

On August 7, 2005, Cohn was shot in the head during an attempted carjacking, following a concert with Suzanne Vega in Denver, Colorado. He was hospitalized and released the next day. The remaining concerts on the tour were cancelled.

Cohn released "The Very Best of Marc Cohn" in June 2006, and his 4th studio album, "Join The Parade", was released on October 9, 2007.
