Love Above Aspen

**Love Above Aspen** [Cold Open – Voice and Acoustic Guitar] Caught the last chair at quarter to four, you were one seat over, snow on your coat. [Verse 1] You asked if the view was worth the cold, I said, “Ask me when we get to the top.” The town grew smaller under our feet, pine trees vanished into white. By the time the cables carried us up, we had already lost track of time. [Chorus] Some things only happen where the air gets thin, where the whole world falls away and the wild gets in. You laughed into the north wind, I forgot where I had been. I went looking for winter and found love above Aspen. [Verse 2] We took the long run down through the trees, you waited when I fell behind. We left our gloves beside the fire and watched the windows fill with white. Your coffee cooled between your hands, but neither one of us noticed time. [Chorus] Some things only happen where the air gets thin, where the whole world falls away and the wild gets in. You laughed into the north wind, I forgot where I had been. I went looking for winter and found love above Aspen. [Instrumental Break] [Acoustic guitar, restrained drums, soaring electric guitar] [Bridge – Stripped Back] I don’t know what the spring will change or where the mountain roads will bend. But we rode up there as strangers and came back down as more than friends. [Final Chorus] Some things only happen where the air gets thin, where the whole world falls away and a new life can begin. You held my hand against the wind, I knew exactly where I’d been. I went looking for winter and found love above Aspen. [Outro] High above Aspen, where the air gets thin.
