Snowin' On Raton

Townes Van Zandt When the wind don’t blow in Amarillo When the moon along the Gunnison don’t rise And I cast my dreams upon your love babe And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes Chorus: Snowin’ on Raton Come morning I’ll be through them hills and gone 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 darlin’ thinks the road is soft and lovely I’m thankful that ole road’s a friend of mine (Repeat Chorus) I’ll bid the years goodbye, you cannot steal them You cannot turn the circles of the sun You cannot count the miles until you feel them You cannot hold a lover that is gone (Repeat Chorus) Tomorrow the mountains will be sleepin’ Silent ‘neath the blanket green and blue And I shall hear the silence they are keepin’ And I’ll bring all their promises to you (Repeat Chorus)
