lyrics

Lyrics by Beth Gadbaw ©2015

Where snow gleams on the mountain and rivers swell in spring,
Where wild flowers paint the meadows and the aspen sigh and sing,
From the first bird’s song at morning light, ‘til the night sky’s a starlit lace,
Where the native columbine does grow, beneath the flatiron face.

Along the cattle paths we’d walk, to watch the herons nest,
And wander on the old Ute trail, on the banks of the St Vrain we’d rest.
To see a doe and her gentle fawn, stand and linger with out haste,
Where the native columbine does grow, beneath the flatiron face.

We are not the first to love this land, she has suitors near and far,
Her peaceful air that breathes us life, as we wish upon her stars,
We rest in shade of her evergreens, and we dance in open space,
Where the native columbine does grow, beneath the flatiron face.

And when the wheel of life runs out, and memories remain,
Just take me back to that scared ground, where the Rockies meet the plains,
And celebrate her spirit and beauty, for there is no time to waste,
Where the native columbine does grow, beneath the flatiron face.
