Hey you, I wish I could hold you,
I just want the old you
When no one knew about us
Do you want to talk about it
How they heard all about you
And that it was tragic
The avalanche was too strong, too strong
The avalanche was too strong, too strong
And i don't even know how i got home
I took my baby up the mountain
On her way down carving
The white and great wide open
The slope then opened up and froze shut
The snow collapsed and covered
Her and she was smothered
We tried to dig her out and all these
Grizzlies and coyotes helped me fight the cold freeze
But the avalanche was too strong, too strong
The avalanche was too strong, too strong
And i don't even know how i got home
I sat down and wrote my friend a letter
An effort to feel better
Than i go and get her
Joshua, i wrote a million dollar
Song about the ski trip
But no one's going to hear it
The avalanche was too strong, too strong
The avalanche was too strong, too strong
And i don't even know how i got home
I got home
I got home
I got home
I got home
