Snowin' On Raton Lyrics - Keen Robert Earl

Townes Van Zandt 

When the wind dont blow in Amarillo 

When the moon along the Gunnison dont rise 

And I cast my dreams upon your love babe 

And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes 

Chorus: 

Snowin on Raton 

Come morning Ill be through them hills and gone 

Snowin on Raton 

Come morning Ill 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 

Im thankful that ole roads a friend of mine 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Ill 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 Ill bring all their promises to you 

(Repeat Chorus)
