lyrics

Vagabond Heart Mountain

To the vagabond heart mountain
Cool June chill, edges of dusk
The mosquitoes crying around while we play guitars and busk
Singing songs our mothers taught us
when Daddy sang at home
back when the lines were fishing lines
and nothing was in stone

Back when the past was close behind
and horizons felt so far
when there was time to bide
wasn't grown enough to drive a car
and living meant playing outside
long past curfew
and a friend was just some kid
who rode those bikes with you.

And the trees were something you could climb
and swinging meant the swings
not listening was your only crime
and you wore dandelion rings
and money was just on some other tree
that took too long to grow
and you could play with your family
because they were the only life you'd know

To the vagabond heart mountain
I will wander in the dark
'til the dawn shines on the one I'll forever call sweetheart
and together may we face the days of shadows, wind, and rain
chase the sunrise around the westward bend
and let the child back in again
let the child back in again.
