Elway
our lady of the thompson river
I was dreaming of outpost towns halfway up 34
I was driving like someone else, like someone you loved before
I took half a lifetime to sleep it off
But I always wound up back where I began
I awoke to your ghost in the threshold
So I ran and I ran and I ran
And you were mine, we fell asleep above the timberline
Just give it time, Iâve got another hopeless song to write
When I finally get this right, itâs all yours
Sometimes I think I just might call you
So I can tell you how Iâve been
Sometimes I picture you a siren
Smiling as you invite me in
I canât remember where Iâve been
I canât remember where Iâm going
I canât remember how it starts
But the story ends with me still rowing
