Lyrics
On a night like this, I do recall
'Minnesota Winds' were high on the rise.
On the outskirts of the city lights,
Like a vision stood before me, a beacon in the night...
I spent my summers there, and I do recall,
Talking with the boys, and breaking all the rules...
Sweet Loretta, she threw caution to the winds.
Like a vision stood before me, a beacon in the night!
Holding a place in time
Counting out a verse in rhyme.
Got you running in the middle of the night...
Holding a place in time,
Clinging fast to what was mine.
Got you looking in the eye of a hurricane,
Got you running, running on home, from the place you came…
I spent my summers there, and I do recall-
Sweet Loretta she came running, with her friends after school...
And like, a vision stood before me, a beacon in the night!
Holding a place in time,
Counting out a verse in rhyme.
Had me lookin’ in the eye of a hurricane.
Holding a place in time,
Clinging fast to what was mine.
Got you running, in the middle of the night!
Got you hanging, hanging on, hanging with all your might!
[8 bar instrumental]
Holding a place in time,
Counting out a verse in rhyme.
Got you running, in the middle of the night...
Holding a place in time,
Clinging fast to what was mine.
Got you looking, in the eye of a hurricane
Got you thinking, thinking about...
The place from which you came.
On a night like this, I do recall...
'Minnesota Winds.'
