Alaska

(albüm: Odyssey - 2019)

As the winds begin to rise
And the calm turns to the storm
Stay by my side and I'll keep you warm
As the tides begin to change
And everything's left unarranged
We shut the door, but it opens more and more

My skin pale as moonlight, dying from frostbite
With nowhere left to go
On this freezing winter night, I won't make it inside
So bury me under the snow

Bury me under the snow

So my fingers dance and my body twirls
As I start to lose my grip on this world
When my spirit lifts and my laurels furl
I'll melt the seasons down, so watch me swirl
As I sink into the whorl

One of these days you'll look back and say
"I wish I would have walked the other way"
And one of these nights you'll run and hide
In this cold dark world you've made
To cut me down inside

Leave me to lie in the snow 'til I die
And I'll watch it fall out of view
So you take what is mine
When the sun won't shine on you
Won't shine on you

In our Alaskan homes we weather the cold forever
Trying to ignite a spark with sticks and stones together
Never having much luck, we just seem to be stuck in the cold
Now the blizzard advances, we never got our chances to grow old

One of these days you'll look back and say
"I wish I would have walked the other way"
And one of these nights you'll run and hide
In this cold dark world you've made
To cut me down inside
To cut me down inside
