true or not you’ve painted a great picture with these lyrics Bruce, yea we’ve all had to split for the border at one time or another.........well done man 👍

I wonder why these people don't turn on their downloader?

Wonderful storytelling! Great music and vocal. Helen x

man! stunning song Bruce, great work from all. great structure, and I just love it when a song cranks that yearning thermostat right up high, perfect!

An engrossing tale, expertly told.  Attracted to this 'cause I lived in Texas for a short while back in the 80's.  That relationship went the same way...

I enjoy all of your work Bruce, this one is exceptional, everything about it

Such a painting you’ve put on this western cowpoke canvas Bruce. Full of exquisite lyrical beauty and longing emotions. Each touch is evocative, and draws you in to join those snowy mountains and rainy plains. Awesome track!

Wonderful glimpse at life Bruce, albeit sad.

Really nice song, touching vocals and sounds!

Rich, pampered girl from Abilene, Texas meets a trail-worn cowboy with a checkered past, and they head north to avoid her family's scrutiny. It's a doomed relationship from the start, of course, and only lasts until the snow breaks.  Abilene comes calling - she heads back home, and the cowboy does what all cowboys in trouble do (at least in the songs I listen to) - he splits for the border.  True story?  Maybe...
 
The timeline in the song is a little convoluted - begins in the middle and then back to the start, then to the end and back to the middle etc.,..   But you old cowhands will figure it out.

Female voices are Julia Avery and Madison Carr.
 
And the winter would pass......
