lyrics

The snowflakes shudder in the soundless sky
I followed your footprints with my watering eye
Built towering nests of icicle sticks
And nestled we two till Winter lost its grip

One morning’s sun shook dust from the trees
You blinked and then you asked me: do you remember me?
I answered with words likely never so true
A day in the country is like a season slipping away with you

Four feet in boots, two thumbs to the wind
On mile-high roads too wandering, too wandering to end
At mountain’s base, we ached for the peak
Like a hundred thousand miners, whose wandering hearts did seek

We two at the river, we two by the fire
While whispering aspen much too polite to inquire
They watched over us from wavering heights
A day in the country, like a thousand mountain nights
