"Snowin' On Raton" lyrics

When the wind don't blow in Amarillo
And the moon along
The Gunnison don't rise
Shall I cast my dreams
Upon your love, babe
And lie beneath
The laughter of your eyes

It was snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through
Them hills and gone

Mother thinks the road
Is long and lonely
Little brother thinks
The road is straight and fine
Little darling thinks
The road is soft and lovely
I'm thankful that old road
Is a friend of mine

It was snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through
Them hills and gone

Bid the years good-bye
You can't still them
You cannot turn
The circles of the sun
You cannot count the miles
Until you feel them
And you cannot hold
A lover that has gone

It was snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through
Them hills and gone

Tomorrow the mountains
Will be sleeping
Silent 'neath a blanket
Green and blue all that I shall hear
The silence they are keeping
And I'll bring all their promises to you

It was snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through
Them hills and gone

It was snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through
Them hills and gone

Yeah, come morning I'll be through
Them hills and gone
