Alberta

Indigo Girls

It seems like a long time,
But it's been no time
In the course of a lifetime
Since you're goneThe crack in the window
Is that how you got through?
Dogs howl, is that you?
The setting sunYou took a wild rose, from Alberta
Brought it East to press upon this yellow page
One lost dayOnce by a coal mine
A terrible landslide
Crushed the hopes of the incline
Engraved their bones
As hard as I try
I just can't let it lie
The feeling you haven't quite made it homeYou took a wild rose, from Alberta
Brought it East to press upon this yellow page
One lost dayCan't call it sorry
Can't call it sad
Maybe just the same as how a song can take it back
More like thatHeirlooms and stories
Pieces of jewelry
Snapshots of a revelry,
A lullaby
The journey out West
Full of secrets, I guess
Never since been addressed
The hurricane eyeYou took a wild rose, from Alberta
Brought it east to press upon this yellow page
One lost day
