Wanderlust

(Dustin)
I will hide in the shadows
Until the break of dawn
(Elizabeth)
Roll on through the hills ‘cross Ohio
To the westward mountaintops of Colorado
Chase the Horizon’s eye, chariot of fire
Singed to a pallor by the funeral pyre
(Dustin)
I will steal your every breath
Before I’m gone
(Elizabeth)
Rising up at dawn to burn another day
The roads on this map, all tangled and frayed
Press those needles in through the cracks
The wander lusting heart cannot be taken back
--------------------------
(Chorus)
---------------------------
(Dustin)
Oh I’m rolling down that line
And you know I can’t spare much time
(Elizabeth)
We drowned our fears in the swelling Mississippi
Swept green rested hills, the lolls of Pennsylvania
Sojourn ‘neath the stars o’er Paradise Valley
Sailed Dakota plains mercenary as a galley
(Dustin)
And I’ve got to get away
Before that coming day
(Elizabeth)
Weathered that desert with the sun at our heels
Dirt ‘n’ sand ‘neath a sky turned lifeless teal
Howling bad-land winds lull a siren’s peal
A wander lusting heart – this, can only feel.
----
(Chorus)
----
(Bridge)
Marched ‘midst the gales that skewered the Pacific
Tumbled down the cascades ‘neath bramble-shirk the showers
City lights burnt the stars from the sky
When the low moon came, we sank in high
Settled in the west chasing shadows in the night
Look back on the east – the sun’s too damn bright
A wander lusting heart is pressed to forward roam
In the echo of the silence, may my footfall find a home.
---------------------------------------------
Chorus x 2
From my earliest days (Both)
From my earliest days (Both)
From my earliest days (Elizabeth)
----------------------------------------------
Chorus:
I’ve done wrong, so much
And I know I’m gonna pay
This road's got blood from the tracks of my soles
From my earliest days.

Still Lies the Crow
05:32
|

|
Through the grass, where we lay
Your young eyes looked away
To the crow,
still he lies on the breeze.
Still he lies, still he lies
As I bury my burden in this memory
Through the grass where we lay,
Long ago on this day
Stayed the crow
You instead, flew away.
By the glow of the midnight moon. (repeat).
