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's 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 Bid the years good-bye You cannot 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 Tomorrow the mountains Will be sleeping
Silent 'neath a blanket Green and blue all that I shall hear The silence they are keeping I'll bring all their promises to you
