Ian Tyson - Rockies Turn To Rose

Wide awake in a west side Forth Worth motel
Interstate thirty howling in my head
Thinking of the quiet plains
Where nights were soft and full of grace
Sleep would come so easy in her bed

And I would wait to find that Calgary girl
Watching the morning star
She′d say I can almost touch it, babe
It doesn't look that far
And love was wrapped around us
As we put on our winter clothes
Walking through the Calgary morning
As the Rockies turn rose

And I have watched that morning star
A thousand times since then
In hope that it would lead me back
To that Calgary girl again
But time is gone and slipped away
Every highway I had chose took me further
From the sunrise where the Rockies turn rose
But someday I′ll find that Calgary girl
Where the Rockies turn rose
