Songwriter: Bob Seger

[Verse 1]
Relentlessly the wind blows
Without conscience without sound
And the howling echoes louder
From the lonely hungry hounds
Vagrant winter's in the alley
And he's waiting
And you my love come softly now
And ease my troubled mind
As we huddle by the fireside
Slowly running out of time

[Verse 2]
Born December's children
Learned to live without a sky
That's beneath the tallest buildings
Even our childhood was a lie
Vagrant winter's at the door now
And he's moaning
Come closer love and hold me
We may be the next in line
As we huddle by the fireside
Slowly running out of time

[Verse 3]
Vagrant winter's in the moon now
And he's stealing
As long as you stay with me love
As long as you are mine
I can make it through the worst
In the vagrant winter time

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
