Hut Trip Luillaby

 
Hut Trip Lullaby
 
 

“it wouldn’t be a real vacation without some sleep deprivation”

Written at Janet’s Cabin (CO) after some long nights of very little sleep. It’s hard enough to sleep at 11,500 feet but in communal sleeping arrangements sometime the loud sleepers are spread out to every room, creating a beam rattling snorchestra. Epic skiing + sleep deprivation made us all a little loopy.

    You don’t come to the hut to sleep
    You live to ski and you love to eat. Uh huh
    You wonder how the struggle can be such fun
    as you’re standing in the shadow of the setting sun. Uh huh
    And we’re tucked in our bags for the night, waiting for the first signs of light.

    It’s a hut trip lullaby
    floating between earth and sky
    and you’re dreaming of the turns and the crazy tumbles
    as you listen to the creaking and the bed shaking rumbles. Uh huh

    It doesn’t matter which hut you inhabit
    Janet’s or Estin or Uncle Bud’s Cabin
    With dinner’s sitting heavy the eyes are closing
    In a couple of minutes you’re sure to be dozing.
    But the moon casts an electric glow, off the sparkling hills of untracked snow

    I need a hut trip lullaby
    to calm me down and let me lie
    but I’m still dreamin’ of the turns and the crazy tumbles
    to carry me above the bed shaking rumbles  

    Living the good life at 12,000 feet
    who has the time for a full 8 hours sleep?

    It couldn’t be a real vacation
    without some sleep deprivation
    Body’s exhausted for sleep I’m yearning
    but the muscles keep twitching as the skis are turning
    This all feels like a dream, but I’m wide awake it seems

    We need a hut trip lullaby
    so sweet, so soft it will make you cry
    but we’re still dreamin’ of the turns and the crazy tumbles
    not listening to the snoring and the bed shaking rumblesDescription text goes here.
