Snowin On Raton (A country gem by Townes van Zandt)

A lovely country song about traveling and snow!

►►My first release “Train Lullaby” is available on Spotify:

For me, this song shows the power of songwriting.
What I mean is, like Townes van Zandt, If you haven't got the greatest singing voice or reach, and (unlike him) you can only play a couple of chords on the guitar, you can still sit down and write a wonderful melody and song that touches people's hearts.
His lyrics are very poetic, full of scenery, full of experience and love.

I really recommend you listening to more of his albums/songs!

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?

Snowin' on Raton
Come mornin' I'll be through them hills and gone

Our 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
And I'm thankful that old road's a friend of mine

I'll bid the years goodbye, you cannot still them
You cannot turn the circles of the sun
And you cannot count the miles until you feel them
And you cannot hold a lover that has gone

Well, tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
Silent 'neath a blanket, green and blue
All that I shall hear, the silence they are keeping
And I'll bring all their promises to you
