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

'Til he finds him a woman and treasures her touch

When the lakes all lie 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
