Miles from Minnesota:
Next year We'll go traveling
our child hood unraveling
We'll turn our sun burnt faces to the coast
I will carry a traveling staff
and we will split our hearts in half
We'll float out of this town like two ghosts
Strong coffee and a wanderers cloak
I love you dear i think you know
I'll sing it to you 'neath the open sky
leave i wish we could right now,
alas, for we must wait somehow
but while we wait i'll sing this lullaby
Chorus:
Oh! We've got everywhere to go
you should sleep I'll see you in the
morning
The willows weep down wisdom words,
And we will pass beneath the birds
along the snow line to the river bed
A stranger was in my yard this morn
his hair was fair his feet were town
I was haunted by the words that he said
He said:
I assume the role of a troubadour,
singing to you from the floor
don't be fool by my minor chords
I know why you look bereft
you haven't lived afore you've left
He departed not a beggar but a lord
Chorus
Yes next year we'll go traveling
our escapades so baffling
our sovereign love returning to the sea
We'll be Miles from Minnesota then
writing letters we won't send
for no words shall contain what will be
Well your sweet voice and my rough hands
when darkness prowls we will dance
through bluffs and fields and orchards with the moon
Yes next year we will leave this place summers kiss
is just a taste
falls warm embrace is coming to us soon
Chorus
