High Country Snows

There's a place in the Rockies

A place that I know

Where the world cannot find me

And the time goes so slow.

In the piney wood forest

There's a flower that grows

Through the long months of winter

And the high country snows.

To a house by a meadow

'Neath the towering peaks

Is a place where my heart goes

When it's love that it seeks.

There a woman lies waiting

Like the wild growing rose

Through the long months of winter

And the high country snows.

In the space of a lifetime

A man misses much

Till he finds him a woman

And treasures her touch.

When the lakes all are frozen

And the wild wind blows

I'll return to my darlin'

And the high country snows.

I'll return to my darlin'

And the high country snows.
