David Wilcox - Along the Western Ridge lyrics

This is where the trail just disappears This is where their story ends No one knows where they went from here But I remember when they drank a toast To the route that no one else had tried Working up along the western ridge Where the watershed divides Way up there, they found their Place in the sky Around the fire, we told the tales Of how they'd cut it close before And wandered lost after the avalanche But stumbled back to camp at dawn But now it's much too long to hold the hope The glacier ice can echo deep I thought, I felt a tug along the rope And it pulled me from my sleep Working up along the western ridge Where the watershed divides Way up there, they found their Place in the sky The air is clear and the ice is blue You can see from down below That curling up over the eastern side Is a silent plume of snow Working up along the western ridge Where the watershed divides Way up there, they found their Place in the sky Way up there, they found their Place in the sky
