Bill Miller - Westwind lyrics

rate me

In the Beartooth Mountains where the twin peaks touch the sky

There's a homemade cabin out of sight from tourists' eyes

And inside lightin' up a fire to fight the cold

Lives a miner's daughter with a heart as pure as gold

She's as gentle flowin' as the sweet grass on the plains

And I need her lovin' like the forest needs the rain

Like a rollin' river she just swept my heart away

Now I'm out here driftin' when I know I should've stayed

Oh, that west wind is callin' in skies of turqoise blue

And the creek is still runnin' like quicksilver dew

She was all that I needed, why did I ever leave?

Oh, her voice voice on the westwind is still callin' me

There's a cold wind blowin' through this mountain pass tonight

As I hold her memory to my heart it don't seem right

Just an empty cabin with a lock left on the door

Now I realize that I've lost the girl for sure

So I went up to Red Lodge to see if they might know

All the townfolk said that she left sometime ago

She just up and married with a nice young city man

I was a fool to let her slip right through my hands
