vs1
On the mountain, peaks out in waves
valley and valley and valley
slopes hide in nine months of snow
leap and carve from skinning up
chorus
riding the tree line
riding the tree line
riding the tree line down
vs 2
up into the alpine
the upper edge of space and time
weighed down and sweating
carving wide and curving
oh
chorus
v3
lichens and lemmings
whistling marmots
follow wolverine tracks
long distance, so close
oh!
chorus

Burnt Toast

I have burnt toast, no other food in the house
I have a song bird, and a milky amethyst
Chorus
Every action adds up, I need to believe that
All the troubles will unknot In ways I can’t know now
Ways I can’t know now, ways I can’t know now
I have the call of a loon, sweet and bitter
I am between endless high hills, stuck in the tired corners
Chorus, Bridge
The kind of years that’ll bring you to your knees
A lump in your throat, but you’re still smiling
Play an old guitar and keep on going
And all the troubles will unknot in ways you can’t know now
ways you can’t know now ways you can’t know now
Chorus
I have burnt toast, no other food in the house
And all the troubles will unknot in ways I can’t know now
All the troubles will unknot in ways I can’t know now

Running in Jeans

I saw a lady, she was a running machine, she was running down Coalmine
Running in jeans
Nah nah nah nah nah running in jeans X2
Now why would anybody go running in jeans?
Getting some evening air, stretchin’ her stride out there
Being chased by a dog, and a moose and a bear
Oh Yeah!
Nah nah nah nah nah running in jeans X4
I saw a lady, she was a running machine, she was running up the street
She was running in jeans
Nah nah nah nah nah running in jeans X2
Now why would anybody go running in jeans?
Getting out of the weather, getting outta’ the rain
Tryin’ to catch up with the bus, forgot the time again
Oh Yeah!
Nah nah nah nah nah running in jeans X4
(this is where to ask for audience/other band mates suggestions)
It’s all okay, it all feels great, until those jeans warm up, you start to sweat and chafe
Then it’s just more chafing, chafing, chafing, chafing…. (chafing could go on for a while)
Oh Yeah!
Nah nah nah nah nah running in jeans X4
I saw a lady, she was a running machine, she was running down Coalmine
She was running in jeans
Nah nah nah nah nah running in jeans......

Close the Distance

Why just one? I need one-to-one
So scattered, so far apart
Go to work, or to find our dreams
Always an outside, outsider feeling
And I wish I could close the distance
Wish the earth’s crust could fold on hinges
We could more easily meet
And then spread out again
Years go by, we grow and divide
Face reflect, reflect our lives
But that doesn’t say
What’s deep inside
And I wish I could close the distance
Wish the earth’s crust could fold on hinges
We could more easily meet
And then spread out again
We’ve stretched out the distance too wide
I can’t see your eyes
Stretch out this time frame too wide
I’ve lost track of time
And I wish I could close the distance
Wish the earth’s crust could fold on hinges
We could more easily meet
And then spread out again
