There’s a place in the Rockies
A place that I know
Where the world cannot find me
And the time goes so slow
In the piney wood forest
There’s a flower that grows
Through the long months of winter
And the high country snows

To a house by a meadow
‘neath the towering peaks
Is a place where my heart goes
When it’s love that it seeks
There a woman lies waiting
Like the wild growing rose
Through the long months of winter
And the high country snows

In the space of a lifetime
A man misses much
'Til he finds him a woman
And treasures her touch
When the lakes all lie frozen
And the wild wind blows
I’ll return to my darling and the high country snows
I’ll return to my darling and the high country snows
