lyrics

ALTAMONT IN THE SNOW


Well she came down from Altamont in the snow
Just two years ago
It hardly snows down here in the valley below
Down in Wilson’s Cove
But that all changed that year

Things had been hard in the summer before
Fifth dry year in a row
Nothing could grow no crops to show nothing more
Than a drought that seemed Hell born
Till Heaven’s snow covered those fields

Chorus:
Patty you just don’t know
What your love did to my soul
I’m fine in the summertime when it’s warm
But in the fall I fear the winters to come

At night I’d lie in bed and wonder where she went
In her dreams while she slept
And in the morning I’d watch the sunlight dance on her skin
As she lay by the window seal
And wait for the snow to come in

Chorus
