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.
