John Denver – The Blizzard

John Denver – The Blizzard Lyrics

Artist: John Denver
Song: 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 i 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 her 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’ her 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 laughin’, and talkin’, and drinkin’
She said “you must know you’re too good for her”
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
And sometimes i’m a fighter when i get too much whiskey
Here have a little 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 goodnight 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 drifts
Dug myself out, with the help of the owner
Went on my way when the snowplow had been by
The roads were all clear and 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
