Lyrics
[Intro] [Camp Stove Hiss & Enamel Mug Clink Foley]
Hiss, steam... hot coffee boiling in the yellow dome
A cozy mountain shelter to call our home!
[Verse 1] [Acoustic Guitar and Rhodes Mark I]
Geodesic four-season tent anchored on the snow
Where the mountain dreamers love to go
Propane stove melting glacier water clean and sweet
Warming up our bare and frozen feet
Two enamel mugs filled with dark roasted brew
Giving our adventuring spirits something new
Wind howling forty miles an hour on the nylon wall
Safe inside our cozy alpine hall
[Pre-Chorus] [Upright Bass and Brush Snare]
Smell of dark coffee and mountain pine so fine
A cozy sanctuary of grand design
[Chorus] [Warm Sheltering Base Camp Drop]
Drinking hot black coffee in the yellow base camp dome
A comforting haven where our spirits roam
High on the shoulder of the Himalayan peak
The quiet sanctuary that our hearts seek
Sip slow, breathe deep, feel the hot coffee heal
The deepest gratitude that my soul can feel
[Verse 2] [Felt Piano and Bassline]
I zip my down sleeping bag up to the chin
Where the peaceful summit reflections begin
We look at the topographical map with pride
With my faithful climbing partner by my side
[Bridge] [Soulful Vocal Belt and Guitar Solo]
Oh, base camps provide the sweetest rest
Giving our weary bodies what they love best
Tents, coffee, mountains and an honest mind
The greatest sanctuary you will ever find
[Chorus] [Warm Sheltering Base Camp Drop]
Drinking hot black coffee in the yellow base camp dome
A comforting haven where our spirits roam
High on the shoulder of the Himalayan peak
The quiet sanctuary that our hearts seek
Sip slow, breathe deep, feel the hot coffee heal
The deepest gratitude that my soul can feel
[Outro] [Tent Zipper & Wind Outside Fading]
Base camp coffee...
Warm in the silence.
[Fade Out]
