Cottonwood Lyrics - Singles - Brenn Hill

Around the rim on Cottonwood 

There stands a cedar shack 

And a pole corral to pen a bronc 

And a shed to hang your khack 

Beneath the peak of lodgepoles 

Between an aspen stand 

Behind the crest of cedars 

That stretch the broken land 

Between the sage and the timber 

Where cattle often hide 

Where I ride to each December to curl up inside 

And look up at the windy peaks 

And feel the fire's glow 

Then trot out through the morning 

'Cross the dusted winter snow 

Around the rim on Cottonwood 

A brand new lion track 

That dots a line up through the draw 

And slowly circles back 

Where somewhere in the bitter night 

He drifted like a spirit 

Beyond the realm of vision 

Not I nor horse could hear it 

But yet the proof that there he crept 

Cut fresh into the snow 

And still I shiver at the thought 

Of where and why he goes 

Around the rim on Cottonwood 

Where deep the canyon cuts 

Into the mountain's very bowels 

Its twisted winding guts 

The frozen rivers down below 

And warm springs on the hill 

At minus seventeen and more 

The water's running still 

And running deep are shadows now 

For day does not stay long 

Soon the full moon rises high 

And I can hear the song of one lonely coyote 

Singing farewell to the sun 

Sending out the call that finally evening time has come 

Around the rim on Cottonwood 

My fire's burning down 

My cabin warm 

My ride was good 

My sleep is sweet and sound
