Earth Blankets White

Driving up a canyon

Rise above the fog

Inversions got the city

As dirty as a dog

Signal reads danger

Don't suck in when you breathe

I've been almost lost and drifting

In a swirling milky sea

People like to tell me

The valley is too cold

Others praise the winter

They utilize the snow

Up at beaver mountain

Tree's brush against the sky

I first learned to keep my balance

Long enough fly

I list it as a reason

I stayed in a little town

It's up there at the top

Where i start working my way down

Woke up early this morning

And i looked outside

The earth was undercovers

Her blankets white

Now i stand below the hillside

With a ticket to ascend

Above the glorious terrain before me

Now i'm ready to begin

My gradual climb to freedom

On the way i'm looking for

The perfect powder

I know where no one's been before

People like to tell me

There's a bigger place to go

I say "better fill your wallet

And enjoy the fashion show"

I'll be up at beaver mountain

Where the essence is to ride

Surfing near the clouds

Where the snow i know divine

I list it as a reason

I stayed in a tired town

It's up there a the top

Where i start working my way down

A thousand trails i've found here

A lot more then you'd think

The best things in this place are hidden

If you go too slow you'll sink

Every way leads down here

Yeah, always on the move

Unless, of course, hidden in the tree's

Lining up to groove

I feel closer to the season

On rolling hills up high

There's no stopping now i know

I'm free and i'm alive

Twisting, turning, cold and deep

Nothing more to do

Then frolic down the mountain

Always trying to out do myself

My goal to live each day

The best that i know how

I'm coming down the mountain

Feeling good

I'm in the now
