Lyrics

Packing out from an alpine lake ---- down a dusty road under deep blue skies.
Creatures under roots and up in the trees ---- wait and watch me as I stumble by.
I stop and wait, they watch me still ---- waiting to see what I will.
They must know that I am gone ---- heading down a path I never meant to be on.
I hold a hope but it’s almost gone
Drank it too fast and I spilled some.
I hold a hope but it’s almost through.
Will it ever last till I make it too you?
Bought a horse down in Carson town, ---- didn’t know it was so old and broken down.
I tried to up and gallop away ---- but it balked and it bit and it kicked and it brayed.
I hold a hope but it’s almost gone
Drank it too fast and I spilled some.
I hold a hope but it’s almost through.
Will it ever last till I make it too you?
If I make it to my home ---- where the rivers meet and I’m never alone
I just might wish my hope was gone ---- wished I’d kept to the path I never meant to be on.
I hold a hope but it’s almost gone
Drank it too fast and I spilled some.
I hold a hope but it’s almost through.
Will it ever last till I make it too you? x3
