Almost heaven, Tararua
Whakapapa, never mind the weather
Life is cold there, colder than the hail
Younger than the mountain, blowing up a gale
Tararua, Tararua
It's the place, we belong
Whakapapa, magic mountain
Take me there, old Bruce Road
All my memories, gather round here
Falling over, skiing through my fear
Dark and cloudy, we can't see the sky
Misty taste of sulphur, snowflakes in my eye
I hear the voice, in the morning hour it calls me
The radio reminds me of the mountain forecast
And skiing down Tennants I get the feeling
That there was more snow here yesterday, yesterday
