lyrics

you flew north before I had the chance
you fled her and the heartbreak in the heartland
I don't mind, I wouldn't impose
you need the wind in your sails and the dust off your clothes

and maybe when you come back, you'll have a story or three
maybe you'll have a trinket from the mountains for me
just don't search too hard for your paramour anew
'cause you've got someone waiting for you

I've been nowhere and seen nothing except
I've seen worlds in every person that I've met
some are iced and cold, but yours is made of gold
with trees so heavy with fruit, they fold

and maybe you'll walk me through your garden when you're home
if you're not tired of each passing traffic cone
we can head out on the road
start a journey of our own

the blue jays, shades of morning sky
ransack nests without two reasons why
and the bear cubs, toothless and benign
will turn to monsters in the blink of an eye

and I heard the devil has a sweet voice like yours
with the beauty of all your twinkling shores
so show me your palms, if they're not hooves
I'll walk through the mountains with you
