[Verse 1]
I had a dream that we were standing in the winter
All the tourists were gone or asleep
Or they were falling down from drinking
In their hotel rooms where they’d gone for the weekend

I can’t remember what falling in love feels like
But even later on you smile and said,
“Maybe I couldn’t either”
Like it changed, grew bigger
It grew bigger

[Chorus 1]
Because lately (ooh)
It’s been cold around here
Coeur d’Alene
Oh, Coeur d’Alene

[Verse 2]
I had a dream that we were still growing taller
And everybody knew that it would only take a little while
To brown and green fir cones and leaves

You held a bottle in your naked hand
One eye at the water’s edge
You told me that we don’t care what you do
But everybody here, we all love you
We all love you
[Chorus 2]
Because lately (ooh)
It’s been cold around here
Because lately
It’s been wonderful to me
Coeur d’Alene
Oh, Coeur d’Alene

[Outro]
Oh, Coeur d’Alene
Oh, Coeur d’Alene
Oh, Coeur d’Alene (Coeur d’Alene)
Oh, Coeur d’Alene
