Townes Van Zandt
Snowin’ On Raton
[Verse 1]
When the wind don't blow in Amarillo
And the moon along the Gunnison won't rise
Can I cast my love and dreams upon you, baby?
And lie beneath the laughter in your eyes

[Refrain]
It's snowin' on Raton
Tomorrow, I'll be through those hills and gone

[Verse 2]
Mama thinks the road is long and lonely
Little brother thinks the road is straight and kind
Little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely
And I'm thankful that old road's a friend of mine

[Refrain]
Snowin' on Raton
Tomorrow, I'll be through those hills and gone

[Verse 3]
So bid the years goodbye, you cannot still them
You cannot turn circles 'round the sun
You cannot count the miles until you feel them
And you cannot hold a lover that has gone
[Refrain]
Snowin' on Raton
Tomorrow, I'll be through thosе hills and gone

[Verse 4]
Tomorrow, the mountains will be sleeping
Silеnt 'neath a blanket green and blue
Oh, but I shall know the silence they are keeping
And I'll bring all their promises to you

[Refrain]
It's snowin' on Raton
Tomorrow, I'll be through those hills and gone
It's snowin' on Raton
Tomorrow, I'll be through those hills and gone
