Westwind — текст песни (Bill Miller)

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
