when the world leaves you shivering
and the blizzard blows
when the snow flies and the night falls
there's a light in the window and a place called home
at the end of the storm. one night on the mountain i was headed for estes
when the roads turned to ice and it started to snow
put on the chains in a whirl of white powder
half way up to berthoud near a diner i know
and the light burned inside
shining down through the snowfall
god it was cold and the temperature droppin'
went in for coffee and shivered as i drank it
warm in my hands in the steam as it rose. sitting there at the counter was a dark headed stranger
me and the owner and him keepin warm
nodded hello and i said it's a cold one
looks like there might be a blizzard tonight -
and yes"
