Oh, Sierra

(album: Thrilled - 2015)

I'm a window, you're my curtain
You draw the shades on the uncertain
Said "don't worry of what's to come"
You'll go blind staring at the sun
I'll protect you from the vandals
I've got you centered on the mantle
If it gets dark, light a candle
You can trust me, hold my handle

I know you want to know what comes after
But let's turn the magnifying glass backwards
Together we'll fall into a rabbit hole
And come out the other side old

I wanna love you more deeply
I wanna love you to the core
Deeper than the ocean floor
Let me in that heart of yours

It's a journey through the strata
Sometimes rocky like Nevada
Oh, Sierra you are golden
This piñata's coming open

Shut the doors, it's a lock in
Dig a hole in the walk in
You won't find skeletons
If you did, I'd introduce you to them

Swimming in your loveliness
Diving deep it's bottomless
What's inside the treasure chest
Submerged into consciousness
I'll dry your eyes when they are wet
I'm at attention, I'm on deck
Don't look east and don't look west
The underground is always best
