Alaska

Took a picture of you there
By the side of the road
Red flannel shirt
And a sad look in your eyes
Spring of ‘91
You were the dancing girl
I was the kid behind the drums
You said don’t be so shy
If you don’t mind
It’s not emotional
‘Cause everybody knows
I length I would go
To put my arms around you
Your mountains in the snow
I’d love to stay
In the coldest day
But summer’s gone
And I must go
Alaska
I’m coming home
You said I lost my way
I took another step
And if it snows all day
Don’t be so surprised
All winter long
Cold water in the tap
Reading books on the stairs
And the radio playing Gypsy
Alaska, don’t you miss me
