Em A
It's a pretty good life in the Rockies
C D Em
In my cabin with nobody around.
A
I've got water, I've got power, and I get what I need
C D Em
When I make my monthly trip into town.
G D
I made a big wad in the market,
C B7
Found a homestead fit for settling down.
Em A
But I'm walking in the rain on the first day of spring
C D Em
And there's something that I've suddenly found.
(Chorus)
A Em
Cold night and cinnamon rain
C D Em
Bringing back a scent I'd forgotten.
A Em
Old lights, fire in my brain
C D Em
Bringing back the memory of you.
I would seek, I would find, but from deep in my mind
There's a warning that would tell me to stay.
If I turned and I ran, if I hadn't a plan
I'd be caught before the dawn of the day.
There are eyes waiting there, but I know I can't stare.
If I did then I'd be giving away
I've forgotten my name, but I'm back in the game
And the predators are turning to prey.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
G D
I remember your face in the water.
C D
I remember footprints in the sand.
G D
How we laughed and we cried and we talked and we tried
C D
To keep going when we're too tired to stand.
Em A
But they took you away and they made me forget
C D Em
And they left me here awaiting their need.
A
Till a chance mist of scent left my memory unbent
C D Em
And now I've got to see where it leads.
(Chorus)
I am watching the eyes of the watchers
All unknowing as I'm making my plan.
They don't know that I know and I'm not gonna show
That I'm certain that I know that I can
Make a break when I get to the city –
You're out there and I know when I find
The place where you stay, we'll be making them pay
For the things that they've done to our minds.
(Chorus)
C D Em
Bringing back the memory of you.
C D Em
Bringing back the sweet scent of you.
