Westwind Lyrics

Westwind lyrics

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
