Welcome to the West

When she paints the clouds vermilion in her promise of the dawn When the pinon breeze turns out the rolling mist When a sunbeam from a laughing stream dances to her song That's Mother Nature's way of saying Welcome to the West Singing loud, pinon boughs, vermilion clouds Welcome to the West When she calls you in the wonder of a sea of buffalo And the roar of thunder on a mountain crest In the silence of the desert in the whisper of the snow That's Mother Nature's way of saying Welcome to the West The whispering snow, the thunder's roll, the buffalo Welcome to the West When she breaks the gentle twilight with an eerie coyote's wail When she soars on wild wings lightly to her nest When she winks her eye as moonbeams dance upon a sleeping trail That's Mother Nature's way of saying Welcome to the West Wings in flight, the moon's delight, a perfect night Welcome to the West
