Judy Collins - The Blizzard

Colorado, Colorado

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", said the owner", there's a big storm on the mountain

Good thing, we're open, we could be here for hours

There's nothing for miles and it's too late to get to Denver

Better not try for the summit tonight"



And the snow fell

And the night passed

And I talked to the strangers

While the blizzard blew



Me and the stranger, you know I don't talk to strangers

I'm a private sort of person but a blizzard is a blizzard

And somehow I found myself saying you'd left me

Tellin' him everything I wanted to say to you



You know how it is when you can talk to a stranger

Someone you're quite sure you'll never see again

Soon we were talkin' and laughin' and drinkin'

He said, "You must know, you're too good for him"



And the snow fell

And the night passed

And I talked to the stranger

While the blizzard blew



The stranger said, "Love, it can cry you a river

Me, I'm a loner 'cause I can't take the heartache

Sometimes I'm a fighter, when I get too much whiskey

Here have a whiskey, pretend you don't give a damn



My cabin's up here on the side of the mountain

You can go up there and sleep through the blizzard"

I put on my parka, said goodbye to the owner

Followed the stranger through the snow up the mountainside



Woke in the morning to the sun on the snow

My car was buried in six feet of snow drift

They dug me out, just the owner and the stranger

Sent me on my way when the snowplow had been by



And the roads were all clear, the sun on the mountains

Sparkled like diamonds on the peak to peak highway

Then I knew that I would get over you, knew you could leave me

But you'd never break me



Colorado, Colorado

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
