Winter in the mountains is never a gentle winter.
Lyrics
Winter’s Here © 1995 David Coller (ASCAP)
There's a big wind blowin' in the trees
Rollin' down the canyon from the high country
So turn your coat up high and pull your hat down low
Winter's here, winter's here
Tearing through the mountains like a hungry bear
So close your doors up tight against the driftin' snow
There's a big wind blowin' ‘round the sky
Sends a shake and a shiver down your horse's thigh
And your life's blood freezin' in the bitter cold
Winter's here, winter's here
Like the cry of an eagle screaming in your ear
So build your fire up tall and let the wood smoke fly
Bridge And somewhere the children are dancing
Somewhere the weather is warm
But there's only winter awaitin’ on
The other side of this storm
There's a big wind blowin’ ‘round the eaves
Whippin’ up the last of the autumn leaves
Dressin’ up the earth in her winter clothes
Winter's here, winter's here
Gonna blow like the devil for a hundred years
And not a chance in hell of an early thaw
Bridge
There's a big wind blowin' in the trees
Rollin' down the canyon from the high country
So turn your coat up high and pull your hat down low
Winter's here
Winter's here
Winter’s here
Winter’s here
